An insightful, reassuring roadmap for navigating the unique pressures and anxieties of life today, from the award-winning podcaster and MQ Mental Health ambassador, Gemma Styles.

Why do I feel so overwhelmed? Is everyone else achieving more than me? Why did I say that embarrassing thing? What can I do to actually make a difference? Am I the only one who feels this way?

In the face of an uncertain future, technological co-dependence and increasing social disconnection, we are battling unprecedented levels of stress, loneliness, burnout and insecurity.

Drawing on her own experience of mental illness and neurodivergence, in her debut book, Gemma gets curious about how we tick in order to better understand and navigate the unique pressures of life today. Featuring the insight of experts and the latest research, Gemma shows that by harnessing the transformative power of curiosity and compassion, we can start to feel more hopeful, connected and at peace with ourselves.

Thought-provoking and heartening, this book is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, less than or that they don't belong.

Praise for Why Am I Like This?

An honest and reassuring take on mental health. Through sharing her own experiences alongside well researched facts and statistics we’ve got a very personal but extremely informative look at a subject that still carries a stigma. ‘Why am I like this’ is a giant step closer to the conversation around mental health truly opening up. I feel enlightened and better for reading it.

Authentic and relatable, Gemma demystifies mental health and helps us feel less alone in our daily struggles.
