I just love Matt Haig so much. Reasons to Stay Alive basically saved me when my depression plummeted a few years ago. I've wanted to read Notes on a Nervous Planet for years but never got round to it until now.
Notes on a Nervous Planet deals with mental health in the modern age. He looks at how social media, the news, brands all use anxiety to get us to do what they want.
I love how Haig splits this up into very small chunks so it doesn't feel like the Gornal self help book. He also adds in a lot of personal stories about how he has dealt with his anxiety and depression in the modern world.
I just find him so relatable. I read his work and I'm like 'that's me'!
I would seriously recommend Notes on a Nervous Planet and Reasons to Stay Alive to anyone who struggles with their mental help. He has helped me a lot and he talks so much sense!
