What to expect
'In a sea of books about mental health, it stands out for its humour, wisdom and lightness of touch' Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt
'Just the laugh you need for when everything seems terrible' Evening Standard
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 examines the impact of anxiety, and gives readers some tools to fight back - whether with medication, therapy, CBT, coping techniques or simply with a dark sense of humour.
'Fast-paced, amusing and insightful' Guardian

Critics Review
Just the laugh you need when everything feels terrible.
It is excellent.
A frantically hilarious and deeply insightful exploration of life inside a brain that’s constantly under siege from itself
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
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
One of the things that really marks Aaron’s book out from others on the market that tackle the topic of mental health is that it’s quite simply laugh-out-loud funny. He manages to harness the ludicrous, the awkward, and the downright bizarre things he’s done because of mental health issues, and turn them into hilarious anecdotes.
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
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.
How to Survive the End of the World … helps shed light on a subject that is still misunderstood by many people
