Notes on a Nervous Planet
by Matt Haig
[b:Reasons to Stay Alive|23363874|Reasons to Stay Alive|Matt Haig|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1418674667l/23363874._SX50_.jpg|42923140] was more a memoir, the story of Matt Haig's breakdown, while this follow up is more self-help, exploring what it means to be human in this modern world and to cope with the negative aspects of technological "progress".
It was interesting to read this book at this present time; I don't think I'm alone in being more reliant than ever on technology. On the one hand, boy, am I grateful we have it (imagine experiencing this pandemic even 10 or 20 years ago...), but there are still days where it just doesn't feel right, natural, and I have to fight the urge not to throw all my devices out the window.
Back to the book. Haig's style is engaging as ever. He uses the same short, creative chapters as in Reasons to Stay Alive, so this is a quick and easy read. I hope he continues to write non-fiction, as well as fiction. I'll most definitely read it!
