I loved this book. A fan of Haig’s writing for a long time, this autobiographical book cemented my love of his writing all the more. The Comfort Book explains a lot of elements and various perspectives of Haig’s writing.
This book truly is a comfort and I will buy a copy to keep handy for the moments I will need it. And I will buy copies for several friends and family. ❤️
Highly recommend this book and recommend creating elements of your own, such as the lists and favourite quotations.

Really solid Matt Haig read. I give only 4 stars because the last quarter of the book was, in my opinion, less profound. Overall, would definitely recommend reading for anyone with anxiety.

I did not need this book at this time of my life, but I’m glad I found it. Haig is so vulnerable in this collection of essays, poems, and thoughts. I know that when I need this book, it will be there for me again and again. For now, it’s a lovely little reminder that everyone has something going on. Be gentle to those around you.
Once again he does it, the right book at the right moment in time, for me anyways (and others out there I would risk saying).

Finally finished this one! So much that I will keep looking back at from time to time. Just a nice compilation of encouragement and, well, comfort! 4.5 stars.
I’m not usually one for nightstand pick-me-up books but I loved this one.
Most of them feel like they are written to capture more followers & sell more books. Nothing wrong with that, generally. But when it’s a book regarding mental health it feels a little two faced.
I think I loved this because it felt authentic: words a writer wrote to himself to provide a buoy when needed.
Three most impactful thoughts from the book (summarized much less powerfully):
We never question a newborn’s inherent worth. Why do we question our own?
If we saw the moon for the first time after a lifetime of cloud covered nights, we’d be overcome with awe. The regularity of awe-inspiring moments in life make them less impactful. But they are still there, if you take a moment to notice them. That awe will remind you are loved; you are valuable.
There’s hope in the darkest times. Hope that because it hasn’t always been this dark, it won’t always be this dark.
