As we journey through International Book Month, we turn to the work of Douglas Adams and his cult classic, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. This month celebrates literature in all its forms, and Adams’ irreverent take on science fiction has captured the imaginations of readers for decades. His wit and wisdom, often delivered with a dose of absurdity, remind us that even in the face of life’s chaos, we can find humor and perspective.

Douglas Adams, born in 1952, was an English author and satirist known for his clever and comedic writing. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, originally a radio play, became a successful book series that continues to entertain readers with its quirky characters and existential themes. Adams’ writing encourages readers to question the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, while keeping a sense of humor about the unpredictability of it all.

In this episode, we focus on the importance of keeping perspective when life feels overwhelming. Adams’ work reminds us not to panic, even when things seem chaotic. We discuss how humor and perspective can be powerful tools in managing stress and anxiety, and listeners are encouraged to find ways to "right-size" their worries. By taking a step back and viewing problems from a different angle, we can often see that they are more manageable than they first appear.
