Books for the Chaos. Fuel for the Human Behind It.
Honest. Sarcastic. Weirdly helpful.
This isn’t your typical self-help pile or aesthetic cookbook lineup. It’s a snack-fuelled survival stash for real humans navigating real chaos, the kind who burn toast, overthink texts, and sometimes cry in supermarket aisles.
These are burnout recovery books for the emotionally cooked, funny self-help books for the spiralling, and life advice books with humor for people who want real talk without the TED Talk tone.
Basically: realistic self-help that won’t make you roll your eyes.
If you’ve ever forgotten why you walked into the kitchen or thrown a party just to justify making Wet Pussy Shots, you’re in the right place.
Part emotional survival books, part funny, real-life travel stories, part cookbooks for people who can’t cook, this collection is built to help you feel less alone, more seen, and slightly more fed.
