Synopsis

Occasional comedian and full-time worrier Neil Hughes isn't the kind of person you'd expect to write a helpful book.

He's an idiot.

Or, at least, so his Inner Critic is constantly telling him. No wonder he's suffering from anxiety!

But somehow, during his nervous bumbling through life, he learned to live with anxiety and escape the unhelpful mental habits he'd picked up along the way.

Oh... and he stumbled on the Meaning of Life, too.

Now he's sharing hilarious real-life stories, inventive fantasy fiction and badly-drawn graphs to help you to be less anxious and more happy.

In this compelling, surprising and delightful guide to life for humans, Neil explores the roots of anxiety and how to (gently) uproot them, all while battling the irritating interruptions from his doubtful Inner Critic.

Then - after sorting out love, crises, relationships, purpose, and contentment - he even considers how we can solve death and the Meaning of Life itself.

Whether you're pitying Neil's hapless attempts to navigate the real world, or joining him on imaginary adventures to outer space or magical shops, you'll discover deep insights into yourself, new techniques to live more happily, and plenty of laughs along the way.

And, somehow, it turns out everything can be explained using custard...

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Occasional comedian and full-time worrier Neil Hughes isn’t the kind of person whom you would expect to write a self-help book. He’s an idiot. (At least, according to his Inner Critic.) But, during his anxious bumbling through existence, he has somehow accumulated plenty of knowledge on how to live a meaningful life, how to be happy(ish), and how to find freedom from unpleasant thoughts, feelings and panic. In this humorous exploration of an anxious life, Neil mixes embarrassing real-life stories with inventive fantasy as he tells how he learned to understand and control his anxiety. Despite the constant interruptions of his Inner Critic, he explores the workings of the brain, love, relationships, purpose, contentment... and even death and the Meaning of Life itself. In between battling aliens in outer space, talking flowers, arguments with himself, and other flights of fancy, he warmly shares practical techniques to live less nervously and more happily. And, somehow, it turns out everything can be explained using custard...
