My publisher says: “In this unflinching new collection of essays, bestselling author Will Storr continues his unique investigation of the human condition. By turns searingly honest, darkly funny, vulnerable and moving, he examines subjects ranging from status anxiety, grief, depression, self-hatred, love and the uses and nature of art.”

Featuring 26 essays, And You’ll Be Okay Forever is essential reading for anyone who enjoyed Storr’s hugely influential books Selfie, The Science of Storytelling and The Status Game.”
