  Bestselling author Colm O’Regan is a worrier. A professional one. Caution is his watchword. Risk aversion is his love language. Now Colm is grappling with the biggest worry of all: the whole ‘planet being on fire’ thing and how exactly we can help. 
  Don’t worry, this isn’t a book telling you how to live off the grid and make your own planet-friendly soap from woodlice (that’s the sequel). Instead, Climate Worrier is about the journey, about trying (and often failing) to be part of the solution to the big issues, while not despairing at the endless hypocrisies that come from also being part of the problem. It’s about trying to be become the greenest version of yourself; about joining the ranks of those who give a shit and do a bit. 
  So if you’ve fretted about: 
  - using your diesel car to get closer to nature, 
  - eating your ethical food off a plastic plate, 
  - existing 
  and have a general feeling we’re all doing too little, too late, Climate Worrier is the book for you. 
  In Climate Worrier, O'Regan offers a humorous and relatable take on the struggles of trying to live an environmentally friendly lifestyle. His essays on the topic are both enlightening and entertaining, making this book a top pick for environmentalists and conservationists alike. 
  For fans of Emer Mclysaght (Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling), and Britney Spears (The woman in me).

  Read This to Look Cool - Essays...

  This book won't fix you, but imagine how cool you'll look carrying it around . . . 
   
  Maeve Dunigan has poured a lifetime of effort into seeming effortlessly chill. The results have been . . . mixed. Nonetheless, Maeve still believes she's one pair of leather pants, one perfect use of the word "bespoke," and one jar of expensive olives away from self-actualization. She'll never stop trying, no matter how bespoke things get (was that right?). 
   
  With sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Maeve shares her own misadventures―like the time she quietly endured a ruptured appendix at McDonald's so she wouldn't come off as dramatic―and explores the universal desire to belong. She invites listeners into her world of One Direction fanfiction authorship and passive-aggressive yogurt mind games, detailing the anxieties that come with living in an age of constant visibility. 
   
  Both cringe-inducing and uproarious, Read This To Look Cool is a relatable meditation on the absurdity inherent in the constant performance of ourselves, offering a fresh perspective on self-love and the true meaning of cool. It's a book that says "I see you" and also "Don't look at me, though, my hair is doing something weird."
