Summary:

Calm your mind, sort your sh*t out and feel alive again – less woo and more, ‘Who knew? That actually works.’

If your brain feels like it has 47 tabs open, and more being added each and every day, Zen AF is here to help.

This is mindfulness for real life – the kind where you don’t have time for silent retreats, spiritual jargon or pretending you enjoy sitting still for an hour thinking about your breath. Instead, Zen AF delivers 60 simple, no-BS (no nonsense) ways to feel calmer, clearer and more like a functioning human.

Split into three straight-talking sections – Calm the F*ck Down, Sort Your Sh*t Out and Feel Alive Again – this illustrated guide is packed with small, doable ideas that cut through the noise of modern life.

No preachy advice. No perfection required. Just practical tools, sharp humour and tiny mindset shifts that make a big difference. All designed to make you zen as f*ck.

Sales points:

  • Irreverent self-help that actually helps: cuts through wellness clichés with humour, honesty and practical advice readers will genuinely use.

  • 60 bite-sized ideas that are actionable, not aspirational: focuses on small, achievable habits rather than unrealistic lifestyle overhauls.

  • Strong gift appeal: bold design, illustrations and a playful tone make it perfect for birthdays, holidays and impulse buys.

  • Targets a huge audience: speaks directly to Millennials and Gen Z dealing with stress, burnout and digital overwhelm.

  • On-trend ‘sweary self-help’ tone: appeals to fans of books like The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*** and Getting Sh*t Done.

  • Modern mindfulness without the woo: delivers calm and clarity without spiritual jargon or unrealistic expectations.
