"This book is about my life facing up to mental health issues that took me completely by surprise. I couldn't understand where they came from, or why they hit me. As it got worse and worse, it felt like it took complete control of my mind - which is really a horrible and scary situation to be in. My life changed drastically, and if I hadn't done something about it, I would not be in a position to write this book. But I did do something, and if you're struggling, you can too..." Silent Assassin of Your Average Jonny is the true story of John McNicoll, an average guy that all of us can relate to, who found himself unexpectedly struggling with his mental health.

The book then details his introduction to hypnosis and how it led to a reevaluation of his life choices - including diet, fitness, and the negative impact of social media. Finally, each chapter provides a summary of key points, tips and suggestions for readers on how to break free from self-destructive behaviour and guides them toward a path that includes: Setting healthy and productive daily habits Mindfulness and meditation Looking after your physical health Maintaining a positive outlook that fuels personal growth and happiness.
