Product Information

The stories that resonated the most with me was Hayley’s struggle with finding a career that makes her happy and as a graduate who is in the same position of not knowing what career they want – this was a relatable and comforting element of the book. From leaving the oven on to embarrassing yourself in front of tradespeople, TikTok star and chronic overthinker Hayley Morris is here to share her most hilariously cringeworthy moments and reassure all readers that they are not alone in practicing such humiliating behaviour. Compton said: “ I’m so excited to be working with Hayley whose videos have me howling with laughter and wincing with recognition. However if you're looking for a book to help with the overthinking that comes with anxiety (and the title could lead you to believe you'll get it) then you'd need another book! I can see why her content is popular in Instagram format, but as a book it was just too much and I wasn’t sold on it.

Thank you so much for the best book I have read in a long time and I hope that if you read this that you are proud of yourself. Das kann ich überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen, denn ich als Overthinkerin wäre total gestresst davon, ständig fürchten zu müssen, bei einer meiner Lügen ertappt zu werden. When lockdown boredom settled in during January 2021, Morris decided to create a social channel filled with taboo-smashing comic sketches.Kokkuvõttes: mõnus raamat, mis on ladusalt loetav ning kergelt manustatav, samal ajal on ka tõsisemaid kohti.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The message that stuck the most from these chapters was the idea that everything will work out and you have to go through the failures and roller coaster of emotions to find the right thing that makes you happy. But instead of responding individually to “deaf ears,” I realize that I can parody the bullies attempts by creating images and publishing them on the internet —the same vehicle used for their attacks—and the images would be seen by millions, and would live again, again, and again. What drew me to this book on a supermarket shelf, initially, was that I consider myself an overthinker.

Tatsächlich hab ich mir bei dem Buch irgendwie was anderes vorgestellt, wieso weiß ich nicht mal genau. Writing Me Vs Brain is not only a dream come true and something I am so excited about; it is also a tribute to my father and everything he taught me. Mulle mehena olid osad kohad eriti huvitavad teada saada, aga eks tegelikult olin näiteks "queef" tähenduse juba varem üles otsinud Hayley Morrise lühivideo tõttu. I've spent the majority of my life saying and doing embarrassing things that wake me up in a cold sweat at 3am as my Brain reminds me of every minor detail. In her warm and witty debut about living with intrusive thoughts and anxiety, bestselling author Hayley Morris shows—with her signature sparkling humor and unflinching honesty—that being an overthinker is both a blessing and a curse.

If I'd realised beforehand that this was by a tiktok comedian then I probably wouldn't have picked it up.TikTok's funniest comedian ― Sunday Times (praise for online content) --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition. She confronts the funny (if painful) moments that arise when your brain and body refuse to cooperate and your inner voice won’t shut up.

Finding photos online, I recreated their images using wigs, clothing, and simple prosthetics, while small imperfections mirror the fallacy that the internet will shield their identities. So liest man hier verschiedene Situationen von ihrem Leben, aus unterschiedlichen Altersphasen und wie ihr Hirn ihr Dinge vermasselt, sie in absurde Situationen bringt und zum zerdenken von nahezu allem bewegt. The theme of anxiety is discussed in a personal, introspective way that helps the reader connect with Hayley and emulates fears, vulnerabilities and thoughts that are seen as taboo. I might not be able to banish your anxiety or make you feel 100% comfortable in your skin, but I hope I can at least give you a break from the constant brain chatter and we can rejoice and laugh at how similar we actually all are. Eriti kuna see oli lockdowni ajal, mil Morrise ema sai oma abikaasa juurde hooldusasutusse vahel, mitte keegi teine mitte.

Autobiographical books are not usually something I read a great deal of, but this had an intriguing approach that discusses topics of growing up, in a comfortable and reassuring style.
