Have other self-help and personal empowerment books given you a sense of hope, yet failed to deliver lasting relief? Are you feeling so unhappy- or so chronically depressed and anxious- that you just can't generate enough energy to "process your issues" and unload your emotional baggage? If so, you may finally have come to the right place!"Don't Kill Yourself...Yet" offers readers long-term relief from mental misery, without requiring a lot of tiresome psychological processing. In a colorful, irreverent voice, author Michael McTeigue shares The Seven Life Hacks, which are destined to improve your thoughts, feelings, and actions in a very short time. The secret to crushing depression and anxiety lies in resurrecting your life force. Four key factors are annihilating your life force, from moment to moment, every day: your thoughts, your interactions with others, the circumstances of your daily grind, and your relationship with your body. Michael, who overcame his own depression, gives you his simple yet memorable life hacks to shield your life force in every situation you encounter. As you consistently conquer the energies that diminish you in the present moment, your life force miraculously renews itself, and your mental and emotional suffering dissipates. You start to feel like your "old self"-like your real self-again. "Don't Kill Yourself...Yet" is not for everyone. It's not an inspirational pep talk about the power of positive thinking. It doesn't even promise enduring happiness, success, and emotional fulfillment. But if permanent relief from constant mental misery-and clawing your way back up to "Neutral"-is exactly what you are looking for just now, The Seven Life Hacks are your ticket to a better tomorrow!ABOUT THE AUTHORMichael McTeigue considers himself the quintessential disillusioned New Age idealist. As a young man, he enthusiastically embraced the great promise of the human potential movement and mankind's imminent spiritual awakening. When the dawn of the new millennium came and went and nothing much changed, Michael gradually descended into a dogged depression born of thwarted ambitions and broken dreams. He spent the ensuing years digging his way out. In the process, Michael developed The Seven Life Hacks, which he hopes will help lighten the load for each person who tries them.

A New York Times Notable Book A revised collection with thirteen essays, including six new to this edition and seven from the original edition, by the “star in the American literary firmament, with a voice that is courageous, honest, loving, and singularly beautiful” (NPR). Brilliant and uncompromising, piercing and funny, How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America is essential reading.

This is a frank, compassionate book written to those who contemplate suicide as a way out of their situations. The author issues an invitation to life, helping people accept the imperfections of their lives, and opening eyes to the possibilities of love.

A highly imaginative and relatable guide for anyone who needs the reassurance that suicide is NEVER worth it. Are you inclined to escape the crumminess of everyday life into fantasy worlds? Are you smart and imaginative in a way that isn't really suited to your surroundings? Are you definitely misunderstood, likely angry, and almost certainly depressed? Set Sytes, hailing from the UK, would prefer you stay alive and sort things out rather than the alternative, thanks. He figures there are better opportunities for you out there and lays it all out in a way that's compelling, funny, sharp, and useful. This zine turned book (please don't call it a self-help guide, asks the author) is ultimately about how to be a person in the world. It can be done non-miserably, we promise.

Please Don't Kill Yourself is about the indescribable pain that is experienced when first hearing about your beloved's suicide. A knifelike pain enters the heart and seems to turn with every unfolding of the circumstances that led to this untimely death. You know that life will never be the same yet you're compelled to know why? In this devastated state, no stone is left unturned to expose the causes until a picture emerges that implicates many circumstances. These include hijacking at knife and gunpoint, charges of embezzlement, adultery, social ineptitude, and sheer tragedy, hopefully interspersed with a dash of humor. A new entity of light replaces the darkness in the heart and truth gives way to hope until the survivor of suicide is able to "hug" the sorrow to themselves while cherishing their beloved's memory and their renewed life. While writing, the author observed families who can't understand why their child killed themselves. Veterans are killing themselves, as are drug addicts and many who can't cope with living. With the best will in the world, no human intervention can change those thoughts and minds. It is only with the "all-comprehensive gift" of God that there is hope for the future.
