Why am I like this – Gemma Styles


Why do I feel so overwhelmed? Why did I say that embarrassing thing? Is everyone else achieving more than me? What can I actually do to make a difference? Am I the only one feeling this way?

Drawing on her own experience with mental health issues and neurodivergence, in her debut book, MQ Ambassador Gemma Styles gets curious about how we tick in order to better understand and navigate the unique pressures of life today.

In the face of unprecedented levels of loneliness, burnout and insecurity, she explores how we can start to feel more hopeful, connected and at peace with ourselves and each other.

Referencing the insight of experts and brand new research, Why am I like this? shows that by harnessing the power of curiosity and compassion, we can start to feel more hopeful, connected and at peace with ourselves.

An insightful, reassuring roadmap for navigating the unique pressures and anxieties of life today, from the award-winning podcaster and MQ Mental Health Research ambassador, Gemma Styles.

‘An authentic and relatable explanation of the angst we all feel in our always-on lives. Gemma demystifies mental health and helps us feel less alone in our daily struggles.’ BRYONY GORDON
