Within the gloriously written pages of A Colourful Dose of Optimism: Prescribe your own Happy Colours to Feel Good NOW (which, sadly, are not colourful, and just your basic black and white presentation - I was really hoping for splashes of colour within it, sorry!), author Jules Standish notably understands what we are all going through in today’s world re: human feelings, and thus reminds us all that that we can enhance our mood, our day, our week (personally and professionally) by simply embracing the power of colour and positivity! A book most definitely to look on the bright side of life with, most all our lives have shifted and they now, much as the world does, look different, less happy, less joyful, more gray and darker overall, but here in A Colourful Dose of Optimism: Prescribe your own Happy Colours to Feel Good NOW, Standish’s positive prescription for a more colourful existence, and how to get it really is one of the most heartwarmingly honest outreaches that I have had the pleasure to read in a long time.

We all want to wear colour, yet our lack of knowledge and understanding has us hiding behind our dark blues and blacks, fearful of making an awkward mistake. If you are yearning to break out of your colour prison let Jules Standish help you match the right shades for your mood and feel the power of light.

In the last year especially, we’ve become more familiar with the mantras extolling us to look after our wellbeing and to follow the science.

This is exactly what the doctor ordered! A fabulous book, totally on point with the world as it is. Bringing so much positivity to our lives … something that has been lacking in recent times. I’m a ‘Follower of Fashion’ when it comes to Jules Standish … she is clever, witty and fun and always thinks ‘outside the box’. Her depth of knowledge using colour through mindfulness and holistic diagnosis is really quite astounding. Being a songwriter, I write lyrics using a similar process to Jules – stories with layers of colour, uplifting and positive vibes … ‘Sending You Love Across the World’ creating calm, happiness and ‘A Colourful Dose of Optimism!’ ~ Susie Webb, Singer/songwriter of the BossaNova albums, Personal contact

In Jules’ exciting new book ‘A Colourful Dose of Optimism’ she cleverly helps us identify happy colours for our wardrobes and our homes. With her positive outlook on life, Jules inspires us on how to use the power of colour to transform our lives and lift our spirits. ~ Karen Oppegard, Interior Consultant, Oppegard Designs, Personal contact

My world is about facilitating change in our thinking to enable change in the way we live our lives. The uniqueness of each of us is determined by so many different factors – too many to list here – but ultimately our goal is to find our genuine ‘self’ within by removing, through understanding, intrusive obstructions restricting our process. In ‘A Colourful Dose of Optimism’ Jules offers a fascinating perspective through her exploration of the power of colour and the influence it can have on ‘how’ one is in the world. ~ Annie Hughes, Counsellor, Personal contact

Even as a young girl I instinctively understood the power of colour. I grew up in a family home filled with it, courtesy of my beautiful mum who had a natural affinity for mixing colour exquisitely to set the mood and atmosphere in each room. I remember the restful and positive mood in my ‘blue room’ painted by her in a delicate shade of sky against a striking navy and sunflower yellow wallpaper, and how that room filled me inwardly with peace and happiness. I can actually reawaken those feelings, even now. For this and other reasons, A Colourful Dose of Optimism resonates deeply with me, as I’m sure it will with you too. Knowing Jules professionally in her role as Head of Colour at the London College of Style, of which I am Director, and as a much-adored personal friend for many years, I am captivated by Jules’ passion alongside her incredible skill to teach colour to all, and this book’s potential to empower your life in a rainbow of colourful self-care. For over two and half decades, I have worked as a Celebrity & Personal Stylist, and was formerly Resident Fashion Expert on ITV’s ‘This Morning’. I’ve styled hundreds of women and men, as has Jules, and I’ve been privileged time again to witness the powerful transformation that clothing, and interior colours have on inner feelings and outer appearance. Let A Colourful Dose of Optimism take you by the hand and lead you through a joyful riot of colourful exploration. This book is a whirlwind adventure and the ultimate colourful read, a solution to feeling great now, with Jules’ colour magic literally helping you to ‘look on the bright side’. This book is also poignantly timed. At a time in human history when the world needs positivity, healing and joy, A Colourful Dose of Optimism shows you how to turn challenges into opportunities, whether dressing to work from home via Zoom, to win the job of dreams, help deal with loss, looking to boost self-confidence or know how to work with colour to change the mood through your home. An incredible treat the ultimate colourful guide for you and your home – I promise you may never look or ‘feel’ about colour in quite the same way again. ~ Wendy Elsmore - Director at the London College of Style , Foreword of the book
