Description

Dr. Faith's original hit, Unfuck Your Brain with 5 million copies sold-in a new, illustrated format is appropriate for adult and young-adult readers alike.

Your brain has a mind of its own. And sometimes, even when it's doing its best, it can feel like it's out to get you. If you've ever had a meltdown in class, suffered emotions nobody understands, or found yourself shutting down at the worst time, you know this all too well. Thankfully, this graphic guide is here to help you understand your brain and retrain it to better respond to serious upheavals as well as everyday indignities.

This fresh take on the bestseller presents Dr. Faith's insights and neuroscientific nerdiness (and swearing) as a nonfiction graphic novel with artwork by Gerta O. Egy. If you're struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, or addiction, or if you just want to have a more chill response to life, this guide will help you get your brain back on track so you can take on the world.
