Critics Review

A fast-paced, amusing and insightful read, particularly for anyone dealing with similar problems - Guardian

One of the things that really marks Aaron’s book out from others on the market that tackle the topic of mental health is that it’s quite simply laugh-out-loud funny. He manages to harness the ludicrous, the awkward, and the downright bizarre things he’s done because of mental health issues, and turn them into hilarious anecdotes. - Independent

A brilliant and funny read for the apocalyptically-minded … If you enjoy his stuff on the Twitter, you’ll love him minus a character limit - Matt Haig

In a sea of books about mental health, it stands out for its humour, wisdom and lightness of touch - Adam Kay

I LOVED it because it’s good to know that I’m not the only one pretending everything’s fine, even when everything is fine. - Juno Dawson, author of The Gender Games

It is excellent. - Dr Fern Riddell

In his first book, he ably captures the daily ridiculousness, as well as the trauma of anxiety, and offers readers some tools with which to fight back - The Bookseller

How to Survive the End of the World … helps shed light on a subject that is still misunderstood by many people - Yorkshire Post
