Calm The Fuck Down by Sarah Knight
2.0
lighthearted fast-paced

Simple, sensible, not-very-astonishing advice on how to avoid losing your shit in stressful situations. It's mostly common sense, and mildly funny. I'd rate it higher if not for the fact that it may genuinely be the most repetitive book I've read this year... perhaps even the most repetitive book I've read this decade. It's just under 300 pages long. Honestly, it could probably be a third of that and lose very little actual content. There's good advice under the vast swathes of waffle, but I was waffled out early on and took an age to finish it.
