To date, he has sold over 12 million books in more than 35 countries, making him one of the country's biggest non-fiction authors. But during 2020, a year when COVID-19 interrupted everybody's lives, Paul has been using his years of experience aiding others to help people cope with the mental challenges of lockdown.
