A no-nonsense and helpful guide on how to cope with a slew of mental-health issues that are hellbent on ruining the lives of millions of people worldwide.

Our brains do their best to help us out, but every so often they can be real assholes ― having melt downs, getting addicted to things, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments. Your brain knows it's not good to do these things, but it can't help it sometimes ― especially if it's obsessing about trauma it can't overcome. That's where this life-changing book comes in.

With humour, patience, science, and lots of good-ole swearing, Dr. Faith explains what's going on in your skull, and talks you through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately to the non-emergencies of everyday life, and to deal effectively with old, or newly acquired, traumas (particularly post-traumatic stress disorder).

  Self-help books with swear words in their titles ironically make me want to neck myself.

    But what else am I meant to read on the train so people know I'm edgy?

      Fifty shades of Grey. I did see someone reading one on the public transport.
      I didn't know what it was back then, I wish I didn't go off and found out what it was.

  This looks to me one step above telling someone "just relax"

  I understand this might be marketed to a younger demographic and good on them for trying to accommodate but is best case scenario cringe af and worst case actually detrimental because humour in sensitive topics for a young demographic might not go well.

  This Amazon review extract

  It also says, "I dont think young people are very smart & won't be interested in reading something unless it sounds 'woke."

  Isn't something you want to hear if you're needing to use this book.

    I very much dislike it. In the first sentence they literally mention how she has a PhD twice along with a bunch of other titles I've never heard of. Honestly it almost seems like she wrote it herself in the third person. Even if it wasn't her I don't like how they've described her as a funny lady and/or badass.

    Would a badass really censor the word (profanity) in the title of their book? I don't think so, they'd say it explicitly or decide their book doesn't need implied swears to draw people's attention because the information will result in it being on top without having to look pretentious. The funny lady bit just irks me because if you're a funny person that's not how I think people end up describing you. For example if I have a comedian I like and want to tell you about I wouldn't just say "he's a funny guy who makes jokes that make you laugh (and a complete badass)." Even if that were the case I would still question how it's relevant to the content/quality of the book aside from possibly being easier to get through the entire thing (if her style of humour is suited to yours)
