He's an idiot.
Or, at least, so his Inner Critic is constantly telling him. No wonder he's anxious!
But somehow, during his nervous bumbling through life, he learned to live with anxiety and to manage the unhelpful mental habits he'd picked up along the way.
Oh... and he stumbled on the Meaning of Life, too.
Now he's sharing hilarious real-life stories, inventive fantasy fiction and badly-drawn graphs to help you to be less anxious and more happy.
In this compelling, surprising and delightful guide to life for humans, Neil explores the roots of anxiety and how to (gently) uproot them, all while battling the irritating interruptions from his doubtful Inner Critic.
Then - after handling love, crises, relationships, purpose, and contentment - he even makes time to consider how we can solve death and the Meaning of Life itself.
Whether you're pitying Neil's hapless attempts to navigate the real world, or joining him on imaginary adventures to outer space or magical shops, you'll discover deep insights into anxiety, new techniques to live more happily, and plenty of laughs along the way.
And, somehow, it turns out everything can be explained using custard...
NOT PRAISE FOR NEIL HUGHES
"It's not bad, I suppose" - Neil's Mum
"Neil has a pleasing use of commas" - Anonymous
"it is a book" - Isla McLoughlin, aged 2-and-a-half
SOME PRAISE FOR NEIL HUGHES
"To merely call it a self-help book would be a complete disservice to the author. Part biography, part guide, and part Brother's Grimm Fairy Tales of the Strange... if only I had read this growing up then I might not have felt so alone." - Claire Eastham, weallmadhere.com
"A brave book and a noble one because, really, what better thing can a person do with their own suffering than to use it to try and help others. It's on my read-this-again shelf." - Nathan Filer, author of The Shock of the Fall
