You Will Get Through This Night audiobook

You Will Get Through This Night was the most anticipated new book of the year so far for me and it most certainly did not disappoint.As a fan of Daniel Howell for at least a decade now, his YouTube videos used to help me a lot to process my feelings, there was a lot of relatability. I would be thinking as I watched that this is a person who feels similarly to me. This was all confirmed years later with the video entitled "Daniel And Depression."So when it was announced that Dan would be releasing a book covering the subject of mental health, I knew I had to preorder it right away. Being completely open and raw with people has always been a fear of Dan’s. Even though his videos were relatable for those of us who were struggling, some of his true thoughts and feelings would always be hidden behind an armour of humour. So I am immensely proud that he was able to be so within these pages. There is bravery in being vulnerable, especially in such a public way. You Will Get Through This Night is split into three parts.- Part 1: This Night: Here, advice on how to overcome overwhelming worries and anxieties is covered. To help to you find ways through negative moments and ground yourself, to help you feel more safe. It is very easy to become stuck inside our own minds with overthinking, and you can’t just snap out of these habits or unlearn them completely overnight. But these tips and hints will hopefully help you get through, one night at a time.- Part 2: Tomorrow: This part is for when you are feeling more able to make changes in your life. It goes through the areas of life that directly have an impact on our mental health and to help manage these.- Part 3: The Days After That: This is all about addressing what’s going on inside your mind to make you feel certain ways. It’ll help you identify toxic thinking patterns, help you to deal with your emotions, detect sources of emotional distress, and ways to help adjust your mindset to deal with challenges that life throws at you. Dan explains that you don’t have to read this in chronological order, but I chose to, and then will go back to the excerpts and exercises that I know will help me the most in times of need.The contents was fact-checked in consultation with a clinical psychologist - Dr Heather Bolton.There is no "one-size-fits-all" method to help with mental health struggles, as everybody is different, and This Night consists of tried and tested methods from different types of therapies (that may not work for everybody). But it is up to the individual to try and see what works for them, when they feel ready. This book may open your mind to new methods you may not have heard of before. A single book won’t change your life, only give you some stepping stones and guidance along the way. The section entitled "Digital Detox" confirmed to me all my thoughts about social media having a negative impact on my mental health. Being too fixated on a virtual world can actually impact your real life and I had already started making some positive changes a while ago in that respect. Dan’s writing style is very personable. The way all the information is presented is different to other "self help" style books currently available. My only wish is that something like this had been available when I was a teenager. There may not be any groundbreaking, new revelations made in This Night, but I know it will be a great starting point for so many younger people especially.It is lovely to think of how many people it may help.

TW// (view spoiler)[ depression, anxiety, suicide attempt (hide spoiler)] “You may be a product of what made you, but you have the power to change and grow and make yourself feel better.” I’ve been watching Daniel’s videos since I was a freshman in high school and I have depression, so when my dad offered to buy me a self-help book for my depression, I of course jumped on the opportunity to get this book. You Will Get Through This Night isn’t just a typical YouTuber book that the world already has too many of; this is a book aimed to help people start to live a better life and get through the hard moments in life. Daniel worked with a mental health therapist to write this book, so it’s a fun mix of techniques that will work based on actual research and the quirky humor that everyone loves from his online persona. I was a little skeptical going in to this book. Most books by YouTubers are drab and have a pretty basic writing style, but I was immediately blown away by how authentic Daniel’s writing felt. He didn’t hold back and for possibly the first time ever, the real Daniel came out. Each paragraph was filled with who he really is and what he really went through. It made me admire him even more and it inspired me to keep fighting. If Daniel can get through this, then so can I and anyone else who puts in the work.However, despite how good I felt this book was, this book was quite literally the definition of right book wrong time. I’ve struggled with finding the right therapist and I’ve had some really bad therapy experiences. A lot of the tips in this book should’ve been helpful, but because therapists that weren’t a good fit for me are the ones who initially taught me the tips, it’s hard to find motivation to implement them in my life. Most of the tips in this book won’t be drastically different than what you’d hear if you do a year or more of structured therapy, but if you’ve done only standard talk therapy or if you haven’t given therapy a long enough chance, I'd recommend this book to you as I can see how this book could be potentially life changing for some people.

Amazing, astonishing and absolutely necessary for the world we live in. Daniel Howell tackles mental health with humour, vigor and an overwhelming sense of connectedness. We are not alone. Keep this book on your nightstand. Carry it in your bag. It is the guide we all need to understand our own brains and the journey they take us on. I will be going back to it for advice and comfort. Thank you Dan

I absolutely cannot wait for this book! So proud of Dan for opening up about a topic that is too often considered taboo. It’s the book I know a lot of people will benefit from, including myself. Only 8 months to go ❤️*September 19th, 2021* I’m teetering between a 3.75 and a solid 4 stars for this book. I’ve been a fan of Dan’s for years and was super excited about this book (as you can tell from past Beth, who might I add, was the first review of this book when it was announced. Yes I have the screenshots to prove it). This book, although simplistic at times, was very helpful. None of it was necessarily new information to me, but I found the way Dan explained it to be beneficial. The exercises throughout the book were thought provoking and helped me discover/accept a lot about my own mental health. Personally, I was hoping it would be a little more relatable with vague stories from Dan’s own life (yes there were some mentions of his own struggles, but I think perhaps some more of those moments would really help the book shine). I know the intent of this book wasn’t to be a memoir, but I can’t help thinking that more stories throughout would’ve really made it feel like Dan speaking to his audience and letting his readers know they truly aren’t alone in going through these things. That being said, the times that he did open up about personal experiences were incredibly moving and made the book that much more impactful. Overall, I think this is a book that will help many people. I will say the book felt like it was targeted a bit more towards teenagers, but I think most young people will find a way to click with this book and learn about mental health. The fact that it’s split into three different sections is incredible, and something I’ll definitely return to as I continue my own mental health journey.

Dan is a really good writer. He keeps it interesting, his language flows well, and he's funny. I snorted out loud loads of times, but that might also be because we have the same sense of humor. As someone who has spent the past year studying psychology (both in college and on my own time as I am a nerd,) I knew a lot of this from before. Most of it, even. Some of it I'd even say is pretty basic knowledge nowadays. Even so, it was nice to be reminded of the things I know, but don't always practice. I've followed Dan's journey since around 2013 and I'm so proud to see how far he's come. The first time I watched Daniel and Depression I felt understood - and upon reading this book, I feel understood again. Relateable Dan-quotes incoming: "I live by the phrase 'if you want something done right, do it yourself,' and I also die by it, as it's exhausting and makes me resentful.""Nothing personally gets me moving like guilt and shame.""I feel free and open, like a mental-health trenchcoat flasher."Besides being hillarious, this book is also full of genuinely good tips that could better one's mental health. If I'm being honest I won't take a lot of them to heart (I know I drink too much caffeine and overthink and dwell on things and catastrophize, I don't care too much) but I will definitely keep some of it in mind. On another note, I love Dan. I don't know Dan, but I appreciate his extistence.More self-help books written by depressives, please. I'm so tired of listening to some neurotypical with a fancy degree telling me how to achieve inner peace. I just want a fellow, flawed human being with some insights and knowledge who has done research and consulted someone. This writing-partnership between a therapist and someone who struggles himself really made for a good reading experience, and I must say I recommend.

I just got this book yesterday morning and I've been up all night reading it and even re-reading some of my favourite parts. It's truly incredible. Funny, upsetting, charming and more helpful that I ever expected. I got this book because I've been a fan of Daniel for about 10 years and I wanted to learn more about him, which I definitely did, but when I finished the book I had also learned a lot about myself.This book really has something for everyone.It doesn't matter if you've been a follower of Dan for years or if you've never heard of him in your life. It doesn't matter if you are the pinnacle of mental health or if you've struggled with depression for over 20 years, like I have. Regardless of who you are I believe that you will be entertained and and get some helpful advice and tips to apply to your own life.Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to go and re-read this book again.

Rating: 5/5 ====I don't normally read books written by YouTubers, but Dan has been one of my favorite YouTubers for ages, so I'm really looking forward to reading this.

This was definitely not written for my middle eastern ass, but it had helpful tips nonetheless. And it's written by my dude Dan. We love Dan. We're proud of you, Dan. Keep it up.

This was EXCELLENT! I was not expecting to love it this much. Dan’s videos always made me laugh, and I’ve missed him while he was gone from the internet on his break. I wasn’t sure what to expect, I kinda thought this would be a satire about his mental health, and have tons of his self deprecating humor. And while there is humor in this book, it really is a Practical Guide to helping improve your mental health. SO many incredible tips and information. This book could help a lot of people. Dan really did a good thing here. I highly recommend the audiobook, he narrates it and it is so wonderful to hear how passionate he is about these topics. Highly recommend you check this one out!

There’s a moment at the end of every day, where the world falls away and you are left alone with your thoughts. A reckoning, when the things you have been pushing to the background, come forward and demand your attention.’Written by Daniel Howell, in consultation with a qualified psychologist, in an entertaining and personal way from the perspective of someone who has been through it all – this no-nonsense book gives you the tools to understand your mind so you can be in control and really live. Split into three chapters for each stage of the journey:This Night – how to get through your toughest moments and be prepared to face anything.Tomorrow – small steps to change your thoughts and actions with a big impact on your life.The Days After – help to look after yourself in the long term and not just survive, but thrive.You will laugh and learn – but most of all, this book will assure you that even in your darkest times, there is always hope.You will get through this night.This book is just so accessible, the way it is laid out with the three sections make it perfect for dipping into. Each chapter is interspersed with different techniques designed to help you take control of negative thoughts and anxieties. The way it's written and the use of language make it very personable and it didn't feel at all clinical. Despite knowing quite a bit about mental health, I still learned a few things! I will be utilizing a lot of these techniques that I’m keeping bookmarked, both for myself and others that I know need it.Perhaps the thing that surprised me most was the sheer ground covered in a concise and approachable way, while I am someone who is familiar with the concepts covered, it was still helpful to have these everyday useful techniques together with their justifications, along with someone talking about their journey relatably without a patronising manner.Overall, I am very impressed and will be recommending this book. Thank you to the lovely people at Tandem for sending me this copy.

i really really liked this, but most of all i'm happy that it exists! as someone who has worked in psychiatric hospitals before, most information in this book wasn't new to me, but i still loved the way it was presented, the careful way it was researched and how dan wove the information so neatly into his own experiences. (although he /does/ have a tendency to ramble on sometimes. sorry dan, ily.)i love that this book provides so many resources that people who don't go to therapy could otherwise not easily access and that it does so in such an accessible way.even if you have never heard of dan howell before: read this for what it is: a practical (and well researched) mental health guide.

It took me a minute to realize that this author, Dan Howell, is the 'Dan" of Phil and Dan internet darlings of the mid 2010s, and for someone so funny, it is important to understand that there was a lot of darkness too. Howell talks the reader from the most desperate feelings of pain (will I make it through this night?) to working toward a better tomorrow, to living with your emotions every day after that. Serious, but with humor, and great insights for 20-30 year olds who are supposed to feel like they need to "have it all" - money, romance, friends, family. The subtitle is accurate - Howell's take offers a holistic view on how you can not only help yourself, but others too.

I think this is probably a very base-level introduction to the self-help genre meant specifically for his fans, but I had a really good time with this. I don’t think it re invented the wheel, but the purpose really feels more so to bring a little bit of help to his fans who may be struggling. While the writing itself was a little dry in parts and not all of the jokes necessarily landed for me, the steps outlined in this felt like solid, genuine advice for how simple things can make an impact. If you feel like you need help taking that first step toward self care and you’re a fan of Dan’s personality, I’d suggest checking it out. 3.5

Self-help books are not my vibe.I essentially came out of the womb with sweaty palms, an emergency barf bag, and a bottle of Lexapro clenched in my fist. Despite the fact that the entire genre of self-help is written for people with struggles like mine, my (albeit, few) experiences with self-help literature have left me feeling even worse about myself than before I picked it up. These books often feel demeaning to me, as if there's an air of judgment surrounding every word of advice. Nothing is more frustrating as a person who has struggled all my life to keep my head above water than when someone who has clearly never dealt with these issues has the gall to try to instruct the masses on how to heal from them. Seriously, if one more person tells me to try meditating and cutting out coffee to cure my debilitating anxiety and depression, I might just have to sucker punch them.Daniel Howell's "You Will Get Through This Night" is the exception to my aversion to self-help books. Never for a moment during this "practical mental health guide" did I feel looked down upon, patronized, or misunderstood. The all-important difference between this guide and so many others? Howell is writing from experience (and he does so masterfully). He strikes a perfect balance between cold hard facts, descriptive and cohesive exercises, and engaging personal anecdotes. Howell's personal stories reveal a certain vulnerability that all-too-often lacks from a genre that so desperately depends on it. His trademark sardonic sense of humor in conjunction with this vulnerability makes for a read that is easy to swallow while not detracting from the seriousness of its topics. It's factual, helpful, and entertaining. It's the self-help book I've been waiting for for years.Dan, if by some glitch in the matrix you happen to be reading this - I am so damn proud of you. For eight years I have looked up to you: first as an online content creator, then as a mental health ambassador and queer activist, and now as an incredibly talented author who is changing lives with every copy sold. Thank you for what you do and please, please keep doing it. This book is so important.

love u dan ❤️ true to its advertisements, you will get through this night is practical, witty, and funny. dan sounds cynical (positive LOL) which is exactly how i talk to myself when i need to get back up. the audiobook exclusive is amazing - especially the epilogue xD xD xD
