About this listen

A highly imaginative and relatable guide for anyone who needs the reassurance that suicide is never worth it.

Are you inclined to escape the crumminess of everyday life into fantasy worlds? Are you smart and imaginative in a way that isn't really suited to your surroundings? Are you definitely misunderstood, likely angry, and almost certainly depressed? Set Sytes, hailing from the UK, would prefer you stay alive and sort things out rather than the alternative, thanks. He figures there are better opportunities for you out there and lays it all out in a way that's compelling, funny, sharp, and useful.

This zine-turned-book (please don't call it a self-help guide, asks the author) is ultimately about how to be a person in the world. It can be done non-miserably, we promise.

This book definitely should come with "Don't Panic" written in large, friendly letters on the front cover. While I am not currently in the target audience for this book, I greatly appreciated the author's perspective, anecdotes and advice for fellow creative pessimists. The excellent narration also reminded me, in a good way, of the Hitchhiker's Guidr to the Galaxy. 10/10, recommended for all hoopy froods who might not currently know where their towels are.
