Shitstorms

The book you need by your side during the hardest moments in life

Something awful is going to happen to you. Or maybe something already has.

A death. A diagnosis. A breakup. A job that vanishes overnight. A thought so dark you're too ashamed to say it out loud. Nick Arnold calls these moments shitstorms, and he's weathered a fair few of his own.

This book isn't about preventing hard things from happening, because you can't. Instead, it's about what you can do once they have. That's what shapes how much they get to impact your life - and it's the bit nobody ever teaches you.

Nick isn't a therapist or a psychologist, and he hasn't cracked some secret code to a pain-free life. He's just someone who's been through enough - and interviewed enough people - to develop the 'Now What?' Response: a way to not only survive what's happened, but to stare it in the face, understand it and deal with it as well as you realistically can, so you don't suffer a day longer than you need to.

Honest, darkly funny and refreshingly free of inspirational tea-towel wisdom, this is the book you'll wish someone had handed you sooner. Because the worst thing that's ever happened to you doesn't have to ruin the rest of your life too.
