Media Reviews
Burkeman isn't pushy or preachy. He makes no promises of massive personality makeovers or psychological transformations....Burkeman doesn't claim to have cracked the code to perpetual joy, but he does deliver a logical and entertaining set of musings on managing life. * * Scotsman * *
This is a genuinely useful book. . . Help! is win-win. If you do find yourself with those problems which, though potentially tractable, are disproportionately aggravating, then you will find solace and good advice here. If you do no, then you will be amused anyway - and you still might learn something helpful. Either way, you won't need to read another self-help book again. -- Nicholas Lezard * * Guardian * *
Burkeman proves an excellent guide, separating all the schmaltzy hokum on achieving inner bliss on your lunch break from the modest, but genuinely enlightening research on human happiness. * * Big Issue * *
A wry self-help book that actually delivers. * * Harper's Bazaar * *
A happiness how-to-do without the cringey bits. Help! Is quite possibly invaluable -- Stephanie Cross * * Daily Mail * *
