In this book, Worry Lines interweaves these fan-favorites into an entirely new story about the making of the book itself. Charting the creative process from its anxiety-riddled beginning to its (hopefully) hopeful end, \u003ci\u003eThis Book Is for You\u003c\/i\u003e is a charming and honest portrait of worry. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is for you if you are:\u003cbr\u003e1. A Brave Worrier (BW)\u003cbr\u003e2. An Absolute Legend (AL)\u003cbr\u003e3. Anywhere from Mildly Concerned About Something (MCAS) to Deeply Anxious About Everything (DAAE)Fans have described \u003cb\u003eWorry Lines\u003c\/b\u003e’s drawings as “oddly comforting,” “wonderfully pure,” and “too relatable.” Vulture described them as “tender, gentle and funny.” \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e went with “uncomplicated” and \u003ci\u003ePreview\u003c\/i\u003e opted for “cute” and “wobbly.” If Worry Lines had to pick two words to describe themselves, they’d go with “nervous” and “potato.”\u003cb\u003eA Note from the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the good people at Ten Speed Press agreed to publish this book—a collection of my most popular drawings about thoughts, feelings, worry, and empathy framed by a hopeful narrative—I was thrilled. I'd always wanted to make a long-form project and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to make something that couldn't exist on the internet—something that only made sense as a book. I was excited to get drawing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut almost before I had time to register the excitement, I was overcome by another familiar emotion: worry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've lived with worry my whole life. It has been both a constant companion and a source of complete creative paralysis. I knew that if I allowed myself to worry now, about this book, then this book would not get made. I knew that if I let it, worry would soon dominate the whole project and I could run the risk of jeopardizing not only the book, but my own mental health as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so I decided, for the first time in my life, that I was not going to let anxiety take control of my project that meant so much to me. The irony of having my own anxiety get in the way of a book about anxiety was not lost on me (or my therapist) so I made the decision that worry was not invited to participate in the making of this book. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, actually putting that decision into practice was of course a real challenge. Did I succeed? Well, reader, let's find out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e—Worry Lines\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Ten Speed Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233776513253,"sku":"NP9781984860262","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781984860262.jpg?v=1767742465","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/this-book-is-for-you-isbn-9781984860262","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
