Description
'Fresh, innovative, humorous and, above all, human' Owen O'Kane, bestselling author of Addicted to Anxiety
'Wise, irreverent and hilariously astute, an essential read for our modern age' Catherine Gray, bestselling author of The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober
'I loved this book so much. It is like a giant exhale in the face of our "quick fix" culture' Jennie Godfrey, bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things
Same Time Next Week? is an unflinchingly honest guide to living with anxiety in an age of constant optimisation, digital overload and curated calm.
Millions now turn to AI for therapy before they turn to a human, often leaving them with more questions than answers. In this refreshingly honest book, therapist Joshua Fletcher shares the stories of four brave clients who choose to bring their whole selves to his therapy room and learn to make space for the messy feelings that won't quite fit into an AI prompt box.
Alongside the stories of Miriam, Ruben, Liya Su and Magnus, Josh shares his experience of returning to practice after wrestling with his own mental health challenges. Through these hopeful stories, Josh offers invaluable insights on how to manage anxiety in our modern world and resist the overwhelming pressure to be perfect.
This is not a book about fixing yourself because you are not a problem to be solved. In this book you'll learn how to better understand your anxiety and, by slowing down and building the right support, find a way to live a fulfilling life alongside it.
