You Will Get Through This Night by Daniel Howell

funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

3.0

Effective execution of a simple concept! I think for folks very early on in their mental health journey, this is a good starting place. It has a lot of easy-to-follow tips that seem common sense for some but can potentially be useful to those of us who have a hard time being reflective or getting out of the bubbles inside our heads. Where this book likely has the most appeal is amongst Daniel Howell's already-existing fans -- not because it the book doesn't work well enough standing on its own -- but because by far the most interesting and original parts are where Howell speaks about his own experiences, with his family, with social anxiety, with depression, and with being queer. The jokes are also much more endearing if you're already familiar with his sense of humour. The demographic most likely to benefit from this book is people who need to hear this kind of advice from a beloved idol or mentor like Dan himself.
