Notes on a Nervous Planet
by Matt Haig
4.5 stars
This is a very aptly named book. It really is a somewhat organized collection of notes on how the aurhor has learned to deal with his inate anxiety when exacerbated by social media and the modern world. But also, in typical Matt Haig fashion, there are respites of beauty and fondness of the human condition sprinkled in.
It's not really a warning for how technology is ruining our lives as much as it is a series of thoughts and suggestions to cope with the monsters when they rear their ugly heads.
I burned through this book in a day and a half. It was enjoyable while it lasted and is full of great quotes that you'll want to look up later. No complaints at all about this one. If you're on the fence, just give it a shot. You won't regret it.
