Psychologies July 2026 explores how mindset shapes wellbeing in a fast, pressured world. Features include Victoria Pendleton on building resilience through fear, the rise of “friction‑maxxing” and why doing harder things can bring fulfilment, and a major focus on cultivating hope as a practical skill. The issue also covers non‑monogamy, people‑pleasing, menopause journalling, neurodiverse parenting, sleep, and ways to reconnect, feel calmer and live more optimistically.
