I read and listened to this book after seeing it on display at my local library.
It is book that was written by Giles Paley-Phillips and Jim Daly in conjunction with their podcast Blank. It covers some very interesting subjects such as Sleep and Switching Off with some helpful tips on steps that you can take around periods of blankness in your life, regardless of if you are a comedian, author or an office administrator!
Some of the chapters really "spoke" to me, especially around Social Media and Social Anxiety and I appreciated the fact that Giles and Jim are the narrators of the audiobook.
I think that I now need to listen to one of their podcast episodes to get a more rounded understanding of Blankness.

The main thing I loved about this book was the format. Each chapter is centred around a theme, with both authors contributing, including references to guests from the podcast and the authors' own experiences.
I've written so many quotes down for future reference and this book prompted me to really think about how I handle blank moments and what I could do differently.
I feel so reassured that I'm not alone in failing sometimes, that not everyone notices all my mistakes and that difficulties are there to be learned from and to make me a stronger person.
Thank you Giles and Jim.
