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

Product Information

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 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. 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. 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. 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.

Her ethnicity & nationality are English and she follows the Christianity religion. She was brought up in a good family that consisted of her parents and siblings. However, we couldn’t find any details about them yet. But, she has shared a picture of her mother on her social media handle.

As I said, you get really attached to things you’ve written, so you are challenged on things. In your head, you’re always like, ‘this makes sense to me’. But then someone else reads it and it doesn’t. I really liked that. Criticism is often difficult, especially for your ego, but I really enjoyed having someone critically go through what I’d written and guide me in the right direction. So yeah, that was actually quite a fun part of it. The only song I had in the writing playlist – which was my most played on my Spotify Wrapped – is from The Theory of Everything , and it’s called ‘Cambridge, 1963’. I looked at my Spotify Wrapped, and I was like, OK… Do I share this…?’. But it’s just such a nice piece of music.

Me vs Brain: An Overthinker's Guide To Life

The voice comes from inside my head, but it isn’t me,’ Hayley continues. ‘It’s Brain. I, Hayley, am a well-balanced, calm and relatively good person, I think. Brain is not. She’s scatty, annoying and wrong about basically everything.’ It is so interesting – I never really thought about how scared we are to talk about something that most of us probably experience. It’s just a really weird, shared silence. Olivia Emily: I’ve been reading Me vs Brain , and I’m loving it. It’s so funny! Can we start by giving our readers an elevator pitch of what they can expect from the book? What I’m most looking forward to seeing… More female written TV shows and films. Written, directed, and just completely produced by women.

It just made sense to me, because I think you have to write what you know. I always knew it would be called Me vs Brain , but I wasn’t entirely sure what I would include in there. But every time I was writing something I was like, ‘right, this is the topic I really think it’s important to talk about’, and then I just wrote what I knew, and then it all kind of slotted into place.

Retailers:

Exactly! It was a really good learning curve. It was really fun, don’t get me wrong – I had such a good time doing it. But also I learned so much. Tegelikult - kas Ethan Krossi "Vadin. Hääl meie peas ja kuidas seda kasutada" on loetud? Kui ei, siis lugege, ma ootan seni. Century has landed Me vs Brain: An Overthinker’s Guide to Life, the first book by comedy writer and social media star Hayley Morris. I think mainly to start a conversation. At the end, I say ‘I can’t fix you – you’re not broken’. None of what I’ve written is there to be full-on advice, because I don’t think I can advise someone on what they should and shouldn’t do. But I can say, ‘Hey, if you relate to this, then just know that that’s probably how we all are’. There’s so many chapters in there that I’m writing to help people have those open conversations with their friends – or even to just think about it themselves.

Hayley explores this intrusive thought process across more than 40 chapters, from the lighthearted (‘How Brain Interprets A Text Exchange’, ‘How to Cover Up a Fart’) to the heavier, more vital topics that Hayley wants to demystify, from grief to cervical screenings. ‘This is the topic I really think it’s important to talk about,’ Hayley would tell herself while writing. In retrospect, she tells me: ‘There’s so many chapters in there that I’m writing to help people have those open conversations with their friends – or even to just think about it themselves.’ Cultural guilty pleasure… A lot of what I think is titled ‘pop princess’ music. Like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavine, Beyonce – old school, a lot of that. For the first couple of chapters, it's interesting and relatable. After that the novelty wears off and it's essentially a comedic autobiography that's more cringe than funny. Its bodily functions. Periods, farts, poop, with input from brain, heart, uterus and others. Then it goes into dating, breakups and towards the end takes a darker turn with a family death and therapy. Let’s take a look at how Hayley Morris began her career? She primarily made her by launching her YouTube channel in 2010. However, she only began sharing videos in 2014. However, she wasn’t really consistent with her upload schedule in the initial years. Yeah, you have to kill your darlings! You may love it, but sadly it’s exactly the same thing without that line that you think is really clever and witty.Seda raamatut ei ole eesti keelde tõlgitud. Kui oleks, siis kõlaks raamatu pealkiri umbes nii: "Mina versus Aju: ülemõtleja elujuhis". Honestly, I think YouTube just wasn’t the right platform. But if I didn’t do the work I did on YouTube, I wouldn’t have known what I knew to do TikTok. It helped me find my voice in comedy, and it helped me fail. I failed a lot on YouTube! I learned a lot from my mistakes. And then when TikTok appeared, it was the perfect time to do comedy. Ultimately, it was the right place, right time. It sounds so cringey, but I feel so grateful to past me for not giving up, because I would have slogged for years and never seen any of the reward had I just been like, ‘Oh, it’s just not happening’. I think you do have to do it because you love it. 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. Hayley Morris: If anyone’s reading it that has watched any of my sketches before, it’s going to be similar to that – but a lot more vulnerable, honest, open. It has some of the things that I have touched on in sketches before, but I’ve gone much deeper into it. I’ve tried to do it in a comedic way, but there are also very vulnerable moments: talking about my dad’s death, talking about intrusive thoughts, health anxiety – and things that I’ve done that I think make me sound a little bit unhinged.
