Me vs Brain: An Overthinker’s Guide to Life – the instant Sunday Times bestseller!

Product Information

I didn’t expect to want to listen to the audiobook of a person who I discovered through a series of short sketches in which the author players different parts of her body but here I am. In this book, I’ve overthought absolutely everything so you don’t have to. I’ll be talking about everything from dating to discharge, mental health to menstrual cups. I might not be able to banish your anxiety or make you feel 100% comfortable in your skin, but I hope I can at least give you a break from the constant brain chatter and we can rejoice and laugh at how similar we actually all are. See raamat on täis erinevaid piinlikku olukordi, millest paras osa jääb küll meile kahe kõrva vahele, samas nii mõnigi kipub ikka päriselu segama. Kuidas näiteks peikaga Türki reisima minnes sõnab meeskodanik reisi alguses, et "Naised ju ei kaka", mille peale Morrise seedeelundkond koostöös peaajuga lakkabki normaalset funktsioneerimast. Läheb päev, kulub kaks. Nädal, kaks - olukord kisub juba kreisiks ning silme eest läheb pruuniks, sest hoolimata autori pingutustest keeldub number kaks kehast lahkumast. Oh seda kergendust, kui reis saab läbi ning Morris saab õndsalt rahus vanematekodus end kergendada. Noh ja vetsust väljudes on põmst esimene samm suhte lõpetamine.

Also, the audio quality for the 'voices' of various body parts was really bad, and really 'tinny' - not what I would expect from an audio book. The books chapters are as snappy in comedy as the shorts I discovered her in and then hearing the last few chapters brought in a hard case of reality and how special life can be.

In this book, I've overthought absolutely everything so you don't have to. I'll be talking about everything from dating to discharge, mental health to menstrual cups. I might not be able to banish your anxiety or make you feel 100% comfortable in your skin, but I hope I can at least give you a break from the constant brain chatter and we can rejoice and laugh at how similar we actually all are. Now, I’m not going to dispute that the book is funny but I’m also not going to say that this book is about overthinking as it isn’t about overthinking in the way the dictionary states overthinking is –‘think about (something) too much or for too long’. Thoughts that go on and on. Hayley is a dream! She’s not afraid to talk the truth and in many of her sketches, we can all relate! An insightful, intimate account of modern life that is a joy to read, with shades of Dolly Alderton's Everything I Know About Love.' - Scarlett Sangster, iNews Kogu kõvakaanevaheline temaatika on vahel õudselt piinlik või siis väga meeldivalt elulik, oleneb vaatenurgast. Mulle isiklikult meeldisid kirjaniku mõtted väga, eks mulle istub ta videokunst ka. Mulle mehena olid osad kohad eriti huvitavad teada saada, aga eks tegelikult olin näiteks "queef" tähenduse juba varem üles otsinud Hayley Morrise lühivideo tõttu. Ikka huvitav, kuidas inimkeha funktsioneerib....

Me vs Brain: An Overthinker’s Guide to Life – the instant Me vs Brain: An Overthinker’s Guide to Life – the instant

To me, this means things like lying in bed of a night time replaying the day’s events or more worryingly running through scenarios in your head of things that most likely will never happen. Such as, if I let my child go into town on their own this weekend will someone hurt them, or take them? And then thinking about all things to do with that for the next few hours, kind of scenarios. Me vs Brain: An Overthinker’s Guide to Life is more small thoughts in different situations. Like when you are at the hairdresser’s and you look at all your imperfections in the mirror that highlights everything. Wow, my eyes are not quite level, is my nose really that wide, etc? To me, these are just random thoughts, not overthinking. I used to assume I was a little freak because I was always up to really weird things - conversations with myself, routines, rituals and games - that no one else seemed to do. Perhaps there’s something wrong with me, I thought. Eventually, after a lot of thinking, I realised that there are almost eight billion people on earth, and surely we’re mostly doing the same things as each other…. We are all human after all.’Hayley Morris's debut is a fresh, very funny take on 21st-century high-functioning anxiety... an insightful, intimate account of modern life that is a joy to read, with shades of Dolly Alderton's Everything I Know about Love Scarlett Sangster, iNews genuinely though gets better throughout and the dad chapters are the most thoughtful and genuine - kind of wish it had more of that vibe than the script style of the rest of it No heakene küll. Oli ju hea? Meil kõigil on oma sisekõne, vadin, ruminatsioon. Inglane Hailey Morris kannatas selle all tükk aega, aga siis selgus, et ta polegi psühhopaat, kui peas olev hääl käsib teinekord kõrvalolev inimene auto alla lükata või lahtisest aknast alla hüpata. Kui koroona mööda maad ringi uitas, siis hakkas Morris mingi hetk lühivideosid tegema ning sai kiirelt populaarseks, praeguseks on tal Youtubes üle miljoni tellija (eks ta on mujal sotsiaalmeediplatvormides ka). Ma ütleks küll, et montaaž on tal natuke liiga kiire, eriti esmakordsel vaatamisel tuleb ilmselt mitu korda üle vaadata, et kõigest aru saada. A noh, moodsad, tõtlikud ajad. Ein wirklich unterhaltsames Buch über viele verschiedene Lebenssituationen. An manchen Stellen hab ich mich und mein Hirn wirklich wieder erkannt, vieles war auch auf humorvolle Weise so absurd das ich einfach lachen musste. Tatsächlich hab ich mir bei dem Buch irgendwie was anderes vorgestellt, wieso weiß ich nicht mal genau. Irgendwie bin ich auch davon ausgegangen, dass Hayley Morrison ein paar Ideen mitgibt, um "Hirn" leiser zu schalten o.ä. Was hier aber eigentlich nicht der Fall war. So liest man hier verschiedene Situationen von ihrem Leben, aus unterschiedlichen Altersphasen und wie ihr Hirn ihr Dinge vermasselt, sie in absurde Situationen bringt und zum zerdenken von nahezu allem bewegt.

However, the more this book went on, the more it felt so over the top and made topics that should be really important, feel really trivialised. Mulle jäi Hayley Morris millalgi Youtubes silma, tal on nimelt palju väga tabavaid elulisi lühivideosid. Kuna sarnasel puhul ühe teise juutuuberi raamat (Kristina Kuzmic "Hold On, But Don't Hold Still: Hope and Humor from My Seriously Flawed Life") oli väga lahe, siis mõtlesin, et proovin järgi.
