You Need To Hear This: 365 Days of Silly, ­Honest Advice You Need Right Now

This book is laid out with colorful pages, each with one piece of advice aimed directly at the reader. The offerings are largely focused in the areas of wellness or self-esteem, with guidance that ranges from the humorous “stretchy pants are still pants,” to the more practical “make time for yourself.” Without any extraneous organization, the collection can be read straight through or opened anywhere, allowing the pages to be enjoyed on their own. The counsel itself is likely to appeal to different ages, with pithy phrases such as “you’re super cool” and “have a cup of tea”; both are examples of the memelike quality inherent in the advice. The pages are very colorful, with bright backgrounds and patterns. This color scheme frequently provides a contrast that can make it difficult to read the distorted fonts being used for the messages.
