How to move beyond the nervous world of technology and consumerism and distraction
This had a lot of good advice and told stories of how Haig came to driving need for mental peace. This is great for anyone who is looking for help in the eye of the storm that is our mental health and/or the current state of our world. I found that this is not a book you read in one sitting but instead a book you come back to to try and help remind you that there are things we can do when the world seems too much.
This book is a real eye opener, or I guess 'mind-opener' would be the better way of expressing that
I never read Matt Haig's first book but I picked up this one following on from 'utopia for realists' and an interest in how the modern world impacts on happiness. Personally, I found it abit repetitive and obvious, but I can equally see how it may be very needed for people who are struggling with mental health and anxiety, which is a great thing.

A collection of (very) short essays that might feel erratic and discombobulated, but I have an unwavering affinity for writers like Matt Haig, author of The Midnight Library (as well as John Green, The Fault in Our Stars) who so vulnerably share their personal struggles with stress, anxiety, and depression - in a way that invites the world to be more gracious and accepting, even in the midst of both the internal and external hard.
The style of this little book may not be for everyone, but for me, it is a gift, both grounding and affirming.
