How Not to Kill Yourself: A Survival Guide for Imaginative Pessimists

By Set Sytes

Book Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

Worth a smile and a chance.

I don't really write reviews and I'm late to write this, but its a good book. I don't really like book guides on trying to heal myself or trying to move forward. Which this book is not and that's why it's great. It's kinda like listening to a friend, who is cursing the world for me. But like, also just validates how I feel without feeling like- the other person is "fake" about it. Idk but this book does bring a smile to my face and is worth a chance.
