About
You’re Going to Die — So Make a Sandwich and Calm Down is a funny, brutally honest, and surprisingly heartfelt look at modern life, anxiety, ageing, friendship, social media, resilience, and the strange chaos of simply being human. With humour, common sense, and the occasional emotional uppercut, the book explores why so many of us spend our lives overthinking everything while forgetting to actually live. From doomscrolling and comparison culture to loneliness, grief, financial stress, and the pressure to appear successful, it tackles serious subjects in a way that feels relatable rather than depressing. Instead of pretending life is perfect, the book embraces the awkward reality that nobody truly has it all figured out. It reminds readers that bad times pass, ordinary moments matter, friendships need effort, resilience is often boring, and happiness usually lives in small things rather than dramatic achievements.
Blending humour with genuine insight, the book encourages people to stop catastrophising every setback, stop comparing themselves to strangers on the internet, and start appreciating the absurd, imperfect beauty of everyday life. At its core, this is a book about perspective. About surviving hard times without becoming bitter. About learning to laugh at ourselves. About understanding that life is fragile, temporary, messy, and still worth showing up for anyway. Because one day we’ll realise these chaotic, ordinary years were actually the good old days.
