  1. 1. How To Be Human The Manual

    The Manual

    A witty, down-to-earth guide that blends personal memoir, accessible neuroscience and practical exercises to help readers understand and calm their anxious “monkey mind.” It explains how the brain and emotions interact and offers simple tools—mindfulness, breathing, reframing and short routines—to manage stress, low mood and unhelpful thought patterns, while emphasizing self-compassion and connection as foundations for wellbeing. Using humor, candid anecdotes and bite-sized practices, it makes mental-health ideas approachable so people can build resilience and lead fuller lives.
