How to Deal: With Fear, Failure, and Other Daily Dreads

Grace Miceli’s How to Deal offers sly, illustrated observations about our daily anxieties: loneliness, Internet overwhelm, social anxiety, substance abuse, lack of boundaries, and all the other emotional obstacles millennials hurdle over in their earnest pursuit of mental health. With a mix of comic strips, modern day motivational posters, and illustrated lists and diary entries, the thematic chapters explore how your comfort zone may be a trap, places to hide your phone when you want to get things done (buried in the dirt of your dying houseplant…), and how to stay when you want to run away, while diary entries reveal self-imposed catastrophic thinking but also some loving introspection and a path to making peace with your demons.
