Am I Mental?: Staying Sane in a World Gone Mad

By Dean Armstrong

ARE YOU LOSING IT - OR JUST LIVING IN A WORLD GONE MAD? If your brain now treats everyday life like a hazard course - emails as landmines, meetings as moral tests, family group chats as endurance sports - this book is your spotter on the course.

Am I Mental? - Staying Sane in a World Gone Mad is a wry, practical field guide to modern mind-noise: the productivity cult, the happiness hustle, the anxiety economy, the illusion of control, and the irresistible urge to escape. Across clear, punchy chapters you'll learn to run quick sanity checks, lower the ambient noise, and build routines that keep you upright when the culture won't.

Inside, you'll find:

Sanity diagnostics: fast probes and control tests you can actually use - Noise Tolerance, Social Calibration, Decision Friction, and Control Flexibility.A simple scoring model: track your trends across sleep, focus, people, patterns, and recovery - no jargon, no fluff.Practical fixes: five-minute resets, small experiments, and repeatable routines that survive real-world chaos.Humour, not hectoring: plain UK English with just enough bite to keep it honest.

Who it's for
Anyone who's over-stimulated, under-slept, and done with performative "wellness". If you've tried the hacks and still feel frazzled, this gives you tools, not platitudes.

How you'll use it
Dip in for a quick diagnostic, run the score to see where you're drifting, and apply one small nudge at a time. You'll build stability by design - not by luck.

Note on scope: This book distils research, interviews, and conversations with clinicians and people who have experienced mental ill-health first-hand. It is not medical advice. If you're in crisis or suspect a clinical condition, please seek professional care.

Dean Armstrong writes about how ideas harden into habits - and how those habits shape our days. He prefers clarity to clich s, and humour to hand-waving.
