Details: Product Description

A visual pep talk of charts and essays on feeling better about not feeling better.

Maybe This Will Help is one part the funny and relatable graphs that fans of
Am I Overthinking This? and of Michelle Rial know and love, and one part the honest stories behind what makes those graphs so poignant. Michelle Rial brings to light her struggles with chronic pain, grief, and creative uncertainty in a way that reflects the universality of dealing with the unthinkable. Equal parts funny and moving, this book delves into the more serious side of things, finding levity and collective experience in the invisible difficulties that so many of us face. Through humorous charts and intimate peeks into the author’s life, it explores the big things that can feel unmanageable and the everyday humor that keeps us moving forward.

SELF-HELP WITH HUMOR: This book brings levity and laughter to serious topics without undermining the important message and relatability that makes it resonate.

BELOVED AUTHOR: Michelle Rial’s first book was beloved by her tens of thousands of fans as well as by the media, including
Wired, Vulture, Book Riot—and the
New Yorker even published her chart-based article on “Book Publishing by the Numbers.”

JUST THE RIGHT TONE: This book perfectly captures trying to figure out the “magic pill” that will fix things, struggling to find peace in how things are, and the humor in even the hardest times. It makes an ideal gift for someone struggling with physical or mental pain when you want to help but aren’t sure how to.

Perfect for: Fans of Michelle Rial’s Instagram and first book,
Am I Overthinking This?; people in their 20s and 30s grappling with big life changes or chronic illness
