Description

What if your anxious mind didn't need fixing -- just a better sense of humor?
What if mindfulness worked better when you stopped trying so hard to be mindful?
And what if resilience wasn't about being strong but about being flexible enough to laugh mid-freakout?

Welcome to The Laughing Buddha -- your honest, wise, and quietly rebellious guide to navigating modern life's mental mayhem.

Written by a psychologist who's seen it all (and still laughs anyway), this isn't your typical self-help book. No sanctimonious mantras. No perfect morning routines. No pressure to become "zen." Just practical, science-backed strategies delivered with warmth, wit, and deep compassion for the gloriously imperfect mess that is being human.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Stop overthinking with real tools that work in real life (yes, even at 3 AM)

• Use humor to disrupt anxious spirals without ignoring what matters

• Manage stress by using perspective

• Reframe self-criticism and perfectionism into something that's actually helpful

• Build emotional resilience using techniques from CBT, mindfulness, and acceptance-based therapy

• Cultivate presence without pretzel poses or personality overhauls

• Say goodbye to mental multitasking and hello to clarity, peace, and maybe even joy

You'll meet unforgettable characters -- overthinkers, over-functioners, and quietly brave people -- who've learned to dance with discomfort rather than outrun it. Through relatable stories, gentle truths, and no-nonsense insights, The Laughing Buddha offers a different kind of peace: the kind that doesn't depend on external calm but grows from your ability to stay centered even when life gets loud.

Perfect for:

• Anyone who's ever been told to "just relax" and wanted to scream

• Readers of Brené Brown, Mark Manson, or Sarah Knight who crave depth without the drama

• Smart, self-aware humans who overthink everything and are tired of feeling broken for it

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, stress, emotional overwhelm, or just the exhausting pressure to keep it all together, The Laughing Buddha is your permission slip to drop the struggle -- and maybe even laugh along the way.

Real psychology. Real life. Real relief.
