I did enjoy this book and think it is worthwhile reading. It gave me a lot to think about but I didn't agree with all of it. It talks mostly about anxiety, what can cause it and the authors own experiences. It did make me think about what I get anxious about and that I should do more of what makes me happy and enjoy the time I have rather than let everything get to me. It was good to read a book with such real experiences of anxiety and depression and how it can affect people. It also had some advice on what you can do if you are in a bad place. I however didn't agree with the authors view on technology and social media. He seemed to think it is a bad thing. I as someone who has a job because of technology do not agree with this. He's one of those people who avoids self service checkouts because they are taking peoples jobs, which I just think is ridicuous. I think we should embrace change not shy away from it. He believed that social media makes people more unhappy but I think it depends how you use it! I've made so many friends and feel I'm much better off with it than without. Anyway, it was still a good read and really made you think about life and a lot of other things. I would recommend it for anyone who suffers from anxiety or depression.
Honestly i did skip a few parts, there are some very live laugh love vibe lists of things to be thankful for or to feel and i dont dig that shit- However this is a really cute little read, easy to pick up whenever and read as much as you feel like as there arent chapters as such but very small coupla page note form essays. This book actually helped me through two panic attacks, subsiding the sensation as i read. Matt very bravely bares details of his experience with depression, anxiety and the current overwhelming age of technology.
A lot of it reads extremely simplisicly- like duh yes of course i know i need sunlight etc. But honestly its full of things none of us actually put into practise and seeks to help a step by step guide in actually achieving. We know social media is bad for us and our phones are bad for us and the intense feelings of lonliness we have are basically our own fault for isolating ourselves and existing mostly in that space.
I will give this book to a few people i think need inspiration and motivation in making tiny changes to their life that will help long term. What is there worth living for? How do i stop feeling panic? Isolation? Intense anxiety? Good for those seeking the answer.

3,5 Mukava, nopea- ja helppolukuinen, vaikkakaan kappaleiden lyhyt rakenne ei mahdollistanut ihanteellista flow-lukutilaa. Kiva muistikirja, johon on helppo palata, kun kaipaa muistutusta laittaa puhelin pois, ja mennä ulos koskemaan ruohoa.

Matt Haig is obviously a wonderful author, and this didn't change my perspective on him. But I did considerably prefer his books about how to be gentle and kind to yourself. Whereas this book underlined all the reasons why you are justified to have anxiety in this world. I knew that already sir. This did not make me feel better. But I appreciate your work regardless.

Such a great book that is so relatable so much of how he describes feeling I’ve felt. Great tidbits throughout but also an easy read that’s rather quick. I do have to admit though there were many times I felt like this book made me want to trash my phone and never participate in social media again. I think this is only because I already have a dislike for social media and find it rather detrimental to my head so when he spoke on it, it very much resonated with me.
nie no co za syf. nie mieści mi się w głowie to, jak jedna i ta sama osoba może napisać dwie książki na tak skrajnych poziomach - jedną świetną, drugą denną.
nuda, ogólniki, powtarzanie się, oczywiste oczywistości, osobisty pamiętniczek, jeden wielki chaos. i jeszcze to niezmordowane wyliczanie, aż niedobrze mi się robiło jak widziałam 1/3 strony wypełnioną "keep doing this. keep doing that. keep something. keep that. keep those. keep being this." ughhhhhh
autor w jednym miejscu napisał, że chaos jest zamierzony, ale ja widzę to tak (i jestem niemal pewna, że tak było): on dosłownie zanotował to, co mu akurat przed spaniem wpadło do głowy, sformatował tak, żeby zajęło jak najwięcej miejsca na papierze, nie przeczytał ani razu tego, co napisał, i wydał ten swój brudnopis jako gotową książkę. otóż kurde to nie jest książka no xD
bardzo nie polecam, chyba nawet gorsze niż "it ends with us".
