It's been a minute since I spent some time with The Awkward Yeti, and I didn't realize how much I missed these adorable, wholesome little comics. This collection was absolutely wonderful! There is so much in this book relating to anxiety, self-doubt, depression, mental health woes in general, as well as trying to find the balance between bettering ourselves and being happy with who we are right now. I laughed out loud, I found myself nodding and "aww"ing, and I generally loved everything about this book.
Thank you to the publisher for the review copy! All thoughts are honest and my own.
✨ Representation: discussions of anxiety, depression

*This was an e-comic provided by netgalley for an honest review.*
This was a really cute and heartwarming comic. It's a really honest view of feelings and thoughts that come up through the course of life, like anxiety, depression, etc.

Book Summary:
It's the return of Heart and Brain! Okay, not really a return, as they haven't gone anywhere. But it is the latest installment of their graphic novel collection. Onward to Good Things! Contains three different sections, all with a different focus/prompt.
Heart and Brain is a webcomic series, and you've likely seen their comics wandering the web. They're cute, charming, and highly inspirational at times. More importantly, they often help people feel seen, as they portray similar experiences to what we've all been through.
My Review:
As always, I love Heart and Brain. So obviously, I knew I would adore Onward to Good Things! And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. Honestly, in many ways, I feel like this was exactly what I needed to read right now.
Nick Seluk, the mind behind Heart and Brain, does such an excellent job capturing these little moments. They're not quite slice-of-life, but they certainly are relatable. I love that the series has been branching out and including other organs, such as the stomach. So funny!
This comic series is perfect if you need little reminders about the importance of self-care and work-life balance. Or even if you just need a laugh or two. Whatever the reason, please consider picking up Onward to Good Things!
Highlights:
Webcomic
Humor
Oddly Inspirational

A delightful collection of both humorous and heartwarming comics. I have been a fan of Heart & Brain for years and was super excited to see a new collection from Nick Seluk.

I love heart and brain. They, along with the other organs, never let me down. They’re always a good laugh and they’re relatable. I love it.

Trigger Warnings: Menciones de enfermedad mental, ansiedad, depresión.
Esta colección de comics juega con el humor para tratar temas complejos. No quiere ser solamente entretenido, sino que busca que empaticemos con experiencia personal del autor, logrando un balance perfecto entre la risa y la reflexión.
Me gusta que no cae en la autoayuda, sino que se siente como compañía para atravesar algunos momentos de la vida y recolectar aprendizajes.
Es cierto que hay conceptos se repiten una y otra vez en todas las secciones, en lo personal no me pareció molesto, pero va a depender de cada lector.
En general es una lectura entretenida y veloz que ayuda a visibilizar la salud mental de manera amigable.
Reseñado a partir de una copia proporcionada por el editor a través de NetGalley.

Trigger Warnings: Mental illness, anxiety, depression.
This book is funny and relatable while also being sweet. These comics are not meant to be entertaining but honest and emotional. If you follow the Awkward Yeti online this is very on brand.
Pretty much all the sections and comics focus on mental health and self-love, so keep that in mind. However, it's not a self-help book as much as a companion if you are going through the same.
Overall, it's a great reading experience even if a little repetitive sometimes.

It was a funny and tender book. The characters and the significance of the brain and heart make a wonderful dynamic pair.
100% recommended for a sweet, cute and funny time.
