How to Survive the End of the World (When it's in Your Own Head) by Aaron Gillies
A hilarious, moving and genuinely helpful guide to surviving anxiety by author and CALM ambassador Aaron Gillies, aka @TechnicallyRon
Just the laugh you need when everything feels terrible * Evening Standard *
It is excellent. * Dr Fern Riddell *
A frantically hilarious and deeply insightful exploration of life inside a brain that's constantly under siege from itself -- Dean Burnett, author of The Idiot Brain
In his first book, he ably captures the daily ridiculousness, as well as the trauma of anxiety, and offers readers some tools with which to fight back * The Bookseller *
Comic writer Aaron Gillies has achieved the impossible - he's written a mental health book that's as hilarious as it is insightful ... I truly believe books like this will start conversations that will change (and save) lives -- Catherine Renton * Thought Catalog *
One of the things that really marks Aaron's book out from others on the market that tackle the topic of mental health is that it's quite simply laugh-out-loud funny. He manages to harness the ludicrous, the awkward, and the downright bizarre things he's done because of mental health issues, and turn them into hilarious anecdotes. * Independent *
A brilliant and funny read for the apocalyptically-minded . . . If you enjoy his stuff on the Twitter, you'll love him minus a character limit * Matt Haig *
I LOVED it because it's good to know that I'm not the only one pretending everything's fine, even when everything is fine. * Juno Dawson, author of The Gender Games *
In his first book, he ably captures the daily ridiculousness, as well as the trauma of anxiety, and offers readers some tools with which to fight back * The Bookseller *
How to Survive the End of the World ... helps shed light on a subject that is still misunderstood by many people * Yorkshire Post *
