Ed Helms’ Confidence Rituals
Actor and comedian Ed Helms, best known for playing Andy Bernard on The Office, dropped a surprise update in the latest issue of his “5 Things Making Me Happy” newsletter. In a brief Instagram teaser, Helms hinted that this week’s edition dives into five unexpected habits that have helped him feel more confident, spark his creativity and stay grounded in a hectic world.
Though he didn’t list every ritual on social media, the Q&A promises a mix of daily exercises—from quick mental resets to micro-rituals that Helms swears by. Readers who sign up can expect the full rundown, complete with the stories behind each practice and tips for making them part of your own routine.
“I’ve found that a few simple tweaks can really shift your mood and mindset,” Helms told fans in the newsletter preview. “Whether it’s a two-minute breathing break or a nightly brain dump, these small moments add up.”

Inside “snafu”
The timing of Helms’s wellness revelations aligns with the launch of his new book, SNAFU: The Definitive Guide to History’s Greatest Screwups. Released earlier this month, the illustrated guide tours some of history’s most spectacular blunders—each one accompanied by witty commentary and colorful art.
SNAFU has already made waves beyond Helms’s newsletter audience. In a celebratory Instagram post, the comedian proudly announced that his book hit The New York Times bestseller list. Fans praised the mix of humor and history, and several stops on Helms’s growing book tour sold out within hours.
“Thank you to everyone who grabbed a copy,” Helms wrote. “I can’t believe we’re officially a NY Times bestseller!”
Helms On The Road
To bring SNAFU to life off the page, Helms has been crisscrossing the country with live events. Recent dates include Los Angeles (with comedian Tig Notaro on stage) and Chicago (paired with journalist Greta Johnsen). He’s scheduled stops at literary festivals and indie bookstores through next month, with book signings and live Q&As built around the same honest, down-to-earth style that’s endeared him to Office fans.
“It’s always a thrill to meet people who’ve connected with the book,” Helms told a crowd in San Francisco. “Plus, any excuse to talk about history’s biggest oops moments is fine by me.”
Whether you’re an Office devotee, a history buff or simply looking to shake up your daily habits, Ed Helms’s dual rollout of personal confidence tips and his screwup-studded guide offers something for everyone. For full details on his five favorite rituals—and where he’ll pop up next—check out the “5 Things Making Me Happy” newsletter and grab a copy of SNAFU before the next tour stop sells out.
Ed Helms’s simple yet surprising confidence hacks, combined with his irreverent history book, make for a winning combo—proof that small changes and big laughs can fit in the same day.
