A review by inessova
Notes on a Nervous Planet by Matt Haig
4.0
When I'm really enjoying a book, and think "this book is great", I always check the 1 star reviews. I like to be aware of the things I missed, and other people's opinions that differ from mine.
And this was no different. And while I understand why some readers didn't like the book, I have to disagree. Purely because it resonated with me, and my personal experience.
I didn't have any expectations when I started it. I didn't know what I will be getting, only the the title and the fact that Matt Haig wrote it, made me buy it.
* What I loved about it
- the self reflection
- it makes you aware of what you're unconsciously doing that is negatively affecting your psyche
- it made me feel understood, and less lonely
* What I liked less
- the lack of structure
- the repetition : certain ideas were repeated many many times
