The Neurotic Notebook

A collection of 100 witty and visually striking one-liners for our changing times.

The Neurotic Notebook playfully explores the relationship between the meaning of words and their visual forms. While each page stands on its own, read together they form the confessions of a college-ruled notebook, lost in the digital age. Engaging, witty, and lighthearted, The Neurotic Notebook reports its journey from self-doubt to self-affirmation. A surprising mix of graphic design, humor, and self-help, The Neurotic Notebook will appeal to lovers of riddles and creative design.
