Walking on Custard & the Meaning of Life

Occasional comedian and full-time worrier Neil Hughes probably isn't the kind of person you'd expect to write a helpful book. He's an idiot. (At least, according to his Inner Critic.) But during his anxious bumbling through existence he somehow discovered how to manage the unhelpful side of his brain, and how to replace his constant anxiety with inner peace.

Now he's sharing a unique mix of hilarious real-life stories, inventive fantasy fiction and badly-drawn graphs so you too can be less anxious and more happy. In this compelling, surprising and delightful guide to life for humans, Neil overcomes the constant interruptions of his Inner Critic to explore everything from brains to beliefs to panic attacks.
