Didn’t know who Daniel Howell was before reading this book but I appreciate how he was able to reach an audience who maybe wouldn’t usually reach for a self help book. Writing style wasn’t for me (a little corny and self deprecating) but some solid tools here for managing depression and anxiety. Love some CBT and DBT skill promotion :-)

this book has given me faith in myself.

Having Dan read to me all these things that I feel and explaining why I feel them was super comforting and reassuring. Thank you.

I think this is probably a very base-level introduction to the self-help genre meant specifically for his fans, but I had a really good time with this. I don’t think it re invented the wheel, but the purpose really feels more so to bring a little bit of help to his fans who may be struggling. While the writing itself was a little dry in parts and not all of the jokes necessarily landed for me, the steps outlined in this felt like solid, genuine advice for how simple things can make an impact. If you feel like you need help taking that first step toward self care and you’re a fan of Dan’s personality, I’d suggest checking it out.
