You Will Get Through This Night is a self-help guide to provide solutions short, medium, and long term solutions to those going through mental health problems. It is insightful and inspiring, and helped me begin to see that my dark nights would not last forever - in fact, it made it much easier for me to see that the bad will end and there is light at the end of the tunnel. 

I 'read' this book in the format of an audio book, and I'm so glad I did. Throughout the format of the audiobook, there were soundscapes and breathing exersises offered, and hearing a familiar voice reading this to me was incredibly soothing and made me feel like I could conquer my struggles. 

I am aure this book is one I will dip into when I need it, listening to this was a warm hug and made me feel much less alone. 

And to Dan: thank you for beiung brave enough to share your story. It is one thing to struggle and to keep everything inside, but it is another to be willing to share in the hopes that it will help someone.

A really interesting, informative and entertaining read. Sure, none of it is particularly groundbreaking or advanced, but it’s perfect for people who don’t know a lot about psychology and/or don’t want to wade through tons of information to get to the main points. I like the way the book is organised, so that you can just flip to whatever section is suitable depending on where you are with your mental health in the moment. Dan’s narration is engaging and still somewhat lighthearted despite the subject matter, which I think provides a good balance - you don’t want to get depressed from reading a book that’s meant to help you with depression.  And I also love the fact that all the information has been fact-checked by an actual psychologist who specialises in mental health so you know it’s pretty reliable. I’m sure I’ll be employing several of these exercises in the future.

I felt like the advice that was given was pretty typical but the format of the book, switching between explanations and exercises, was very informative and digestible.

You Will Get Through This Night is one of the most assuring books a human being can read. I bought this book on release day, and I knew that the best thing for me to do would be to save it for a time when I really needed it. I am thankful to say that it took over half a year for me to get to this position, but alas, I got there. And after only a couple of days of reading, I instantly feel better, more knowledgeable, and more confident in terms of how I can continue to look after myself.

This book provides immediate help for someone in a crisis, but also provides ways to maintain a healthy mental state. Hearing this come from Daniel Howell, someone I have looked up to for many years, was a very therapeutic experience, as if it was coming from an old friend.

I have only positive things to say about this book. Despite its very serious subject matter, Daniel makes the reading experience really enjoyable with his iconic humour. The audiobook also adds a lot to it.
