black books!
This book is brilliant for re-enacting the scene when Manny swallows the Little Book of Calm accidentally. Aah, genius!

Could there be worse self-help books on the market?
It is difficult to imagine to what extent the advice given here would actually help people who really have something to worry about. There are about 160 little gems like:

"Have calm thoughts.
Picture calm scenes.
Recall calm sounds.
And guess what you'll be feeling ..."

Three more, not exactly untypical, are

"Pretend it's Saturday."

"Imagine every day is a holiday. Do one little thing that stimulates this holiday mood each day, then watch your worries fade away."

And "Remain on the lookout for things that make you laugh - and, if you see nothing worth laughing at, pretend you see it. Then laugh."

I tried pretending that this was a good book, and I hadn't wasted my money.

It didn't work.

hehe
If you have seen the first ever episode of Black books (comedy with Bill Bailey, Dylan Moran and Tamsin Grieg) you will realise why I bought this book
It is however, good, not only for the comedy value it helps to keep me calm, just look up a suggestion and they're usually possible to do straight away.
Also its size makes it convenient to carry around with me meaning I have a source of calm wherever I go
