The Comfort Book by Matt Haig
3.0
inspiring reflective relaxing fast-paced

This is a collection of quotes, short essays, and musings about mental health. It’s sweet, but pretty individualistic. I also feel there is a strong patriarchal perspective on the “productivity” of pain and suffering. Yes, the lows make us appreciate the highs to a greater extent, but I don’t agree that we should romanticize this pain as productive, especially when the focus is not dismantling the systems that lead to our suffering and creating collective joy.
