Synopsis

There are plenty of books out there on how to survive a zombie apocalypse, all-out nuclear war, or Armageddon. But what happens when it feels like the world is ending every single time you wake up? That's what having anxiety is like - and How to Survive the End of the World is here to help. Or at least make you feel like you're not so alone. From helping readers identify the enemy, to safeguarding the vulnerable areas of their lives, Aaron Gillies will examine the impact of anxiety, and give readers some tools to fight back - whether with medication, therapy, CBT, coping techniques, or simply with a dark sense of humour.

Review

Comic writer Aaron Gillies has achieved the impossible - he's written a mental health book that's as hilarious as it is insightful ... I truly believe books like this will start conversations that will change (and save) lives -- Catherine Renton * Thought Catalog * A frantically hilarious and deeply insightful exploration of life inside a brain that's constantly under siege from itself -- Dean Burnett, author of The Idiot Brain How to Survive the End of the World ... helps shed light on a subject that is still misunderstood by many people * Yorkshire Post * In his first book, he ably captures the daily ridiculousness, as well as the trauma of anxiety, and offers readers some tools with which to fight back * The Bookseller * In a sea of books about mental health, it stands out for its humour, wisdom and lightness of touch * Adam Kay * It is excellent. * Dr Fern Riddell * I LOVED it because it's good to know that I'm not the only one pretending everything's fine, even when everything is fine. * Juno Dawson, author of The Gender Games * A brilliant and funny read for the apocalyptically-minded . . . If you enjoy his stuff on the Twitter, you'll love him minus a character limit * Matt Haig * A fast-paced, amusing and insightful read, particularly for anyone dealing with similar problems * Guardian *
