Get Happy with The Overthinkers' Club by Nat Luurtsema

About the event

Join comedian, Nat Luurtsema for a talk about her new book, The Overthinkers’ Club: Happy List, which tackles anxiety, dread and the pointy worried feelings you get in your stomach, with science, good sense and a Happy List. Nat used to be a very anxious child, and then an anxious adult, and now she has the personality of a Golden Retriever. Which is brilliant, obviously, and she wants to share her tips and tricks for achieving this excellent state of mind.

She’ll show kids her own personal Happy List and invite them to make one with her right now. She will also show exclusive glimpses of her attempts to illustrate this book herself, before her publisher said “absolutely not” and “those are horrible.”
