A great book, [Good Vibes, Good Life] from Vex King helped me. It's about surrounding yourself with positive people and I loved it. Positive people at this club and positive people in everyday life.

Vex King draws on his own personal experiences to encourage readers to overcome their fears in order to reach their goals. He touches on the importance of mastering self-love and prioritising mental wellbeing, how to turn negative emotions into positive ones, and the power of creating affirmative lifestyle habits such as mindfulness and meditation to practice self-care. - The Evening Standard

Vex King’s modern take on the law of attraction is enough to challenge any sceptic. According to King, everything carries its own energy – and that includes us. Our bodies vibrate with this energy, and vibrations can be high or low based on the emotion behind them: negative emotions create low vibrations, and positive emotions create high vibrations. In Good Vibes, Good Life, King reveals how raising your vibration can encourage further positivity towards us: joy breeds joy. But the approach is one of realism – it’s not just a case of deciding to be positive from… now. It’s about dealing with the things you need to deal with, prioritising self-care and overcoming all of the things which are holding you back. - Harpers Bazaar
