This compilation of comics is slightly different from Nick Seluk's usual, he inserts a little more of himself here. And while I feel like reading these comics tells us so much about his thoughts, fears, and personality (and internal organs), it was really nice to see him insert more of his humanity in this one.
And honestly.
If you don't adore his comics, you're a robot and we need to check your oil levels.

Heart and Brain: Onward to Good Things! is a hilarious and lighthearted comic about the fight between the brain and the heart. This comic is divided into three sections with added comments by the author.
I’ve seen heart and brain comics on social media, and they always make me laugh. This comic is funny and relatable; the heart wants something, your brain wants something, and the tongue wants something else. Several organs made brief appearances.
The heart desires to be adventurous and playful, whereas the brain desires to be responsible and mindful before making any choice.
The comic has touched upon topics like anxiety, work-life balance, stress, self-care, going forward, etc. All of these are shown hilariously.
I liked the illustration; it was catchy and simple.
I would highly recommend this comic.

I was so excited to see a new Heart and Brain book! I've followed Nick Seluk for years and this volume was so tender and emotional. Every single comic was relatable. I absolutely loved it.

I have been an Awkward Yeti fan for years. These Heart & Brain comics connected together with some letters from the author were great to read. Nick Seluk really sends to capture the workings of the mind and heart, taking a full story in sometimes just one panel.
I found myself constantly chuckling or saying "awwww..." and asking my wife to look at what I'd just read.
If you are an Awkward Yeti fan, you are probably already sold (and have you played his card game?). If you aren't, would be a great gift to give to someone who is struggling or moving into a new phase in their life (graduation season is coming up!).
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. #HeartandBrainOnwardtoGoodThings #NetGalley #AwkwardYeti

I felt seen and I loved it!
Illustrations are simple but cute and they're perfect for these sarcastic scenarios. Many of them, I swear, happen in my mind every day. It was so funny to read my exact thoughts (I should say "internal fights") and I spent a lot of time smiling and giggling on those pages.
I hope people will give this book a try: it's a very well deserved 4-stars.

Although this is not my first exposure to Nick Seluk's humor and heart/brain comics, it is my first set that is together in one book. AND IT'S GREAT! I love this compilation just as much as his funny updates and little strips I see on-line. I always love his humor between the heart and brain! [a:Nick Seluck|20081060|Nick Seluck|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] is the perfect perspective and voice to help me find the humor in myself and the little quirks of my heart wanting one thing and my brain knowing better. I love that he touched on topics like anxiety, work life/balance, self care and even forgiving yourself (and finding the homor in your own flaws). It's a great mix of funny but also loving and I must admit I'd missed this little heart and brain and loved spending the evening enjoying their little world.
A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.
