About this listen

A front-row ticket to the fight of the year: it's you vs. your brain.

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 listeners identify the enemy to safeguarding the vulnerable areas of their lives, Aaron Gillies will examine the impact of anxiety and give listeners some tools to fight back - whether with medication, therapy, CBT, coping techniques, or simply a dark sense of humour.

Enjoyed this so much, it did not feel like a self help book but a friend being realistic , relatable and helping you feel you can deal with anxiety- and are not alone. With a dollop of humour and understanding of the real issues and how to deal with them. The best non fiction I’ve read in ages- brilliantly written and narrated

Practical, realistic and empowering - and enjoyable

Loved the book and I think the author did a great job at describing anxiety and the effects it can have on people. I related to this book so much and I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling.

It all makes sense!

Been listening to this on recent walks and I have to say it's actually pretty damn good.

Having experience with severe anxiety it's helped a great deal.

It's written and narrated by the bloke behind Technically Ron on Twitter and the style is witty, self-deprecating but also informative.

Give it a whirl.

Actually did help.
