A new Harry Potter related book by Dr Julie-Anne Sykley will be released this coming March.  The book is called Harry Potter Power and is a “fun and friendly self-help book uses ideas/situations from Harry’s world to help people be happier, healthier, and deal with stuff like depression, anxiety, anger, and suicidal thinking.” Dr Julie has also answered a couple questions for us, sort of a mini-interview:

What first inspired you to write this book?
The “Harry Potter” books are a positive phenomenon that has enrichened people’s lives everywhere. JK Rowling’s adventures suggest many ways for us to be happier, healthier, better, and more humane people to all the world(s) around us. By revealing more psychology from “Harry Potter” and presenting the best tips and tools from the field of psychology, I wanted to “build on” Harry Potter and convince as many people as possible that everyone can find their very own Philosopher’s Stone in real life – and free their inner power.
What do you think is one of the most important lessons readers can learn from your book?
The most important thing that readers can learn from my book is that each and everyone of us (in our own unique ways, no matter how bad we think life is) already has the personal capacity to experience incredible happiness, success, and personal power – if we choose to think, do, and be positive. Just like hippogriffs do, you can follow your dreams and fly high!
