Me vs. Brain: An Overthinkers Guide to Life

In her warm and witty debut about living with intrusive thoughts and anxiety, bestselling author Hayley Morris shows—with her signature sparkling humor and unflinching honesty—that being an overthinker is both a blessing and a curse. She confronts the funny (if painful) moments that arise when your brain and body refuse to cooperate and your inner voice won’t shut up. No subject is too taboo for Hayley, whether that’s forgetting how to walk when people are watching or the frustrations of dating. Me vs. Brain is for any reader hoping to befriend their brain, even when it’s “scatty, annoying, and wrong about basically everything.”

Hayley Morris started her social media channels in January 2021 after finding herself bored during lockdown, and she instantly went viral. Her hilarious, taboo-smashing comic sketches see her personifying different body parts like “Brain,” “Uterus,” and “Bladder,” dissecting the all-too-relatable internal dialogues that ping back and forth while navigating the challenges of everyday life. Hayley is a Sunday Times Face to Know (2022), Funny Women Creator of the Year (2021), and TikToker of the Year (Blogosphere, 2021). She’s a comedian smashing taboos in the feminist space with astonishing growth on her social channels, and she has one of the strongest engagement rates on social media.
