Notes on a Nervous Planet by Matt Haig
hopeful
informative
inspiring
"Be kind to yourself. If the negatives of the work outweigh the positives of the money, don't do it. If someone is using their power to bully or harass you, don't stand for it. If you hate your, job, and can get away with walking out on your lunch break, walk out on your lunch break. And never go back."
After I experienced some severe panic attacks and waiting for my psychology appointment I was looking for a book that would make time pass a little quicker for me. Usually reading is my way to relax but I had some trouble staying focused so this book was just the right pick for me.
The chapters are short and the book gave a good look on life when times get rough.
I read The Midnight Library last year (and very much enjoyed it) and got this one shortly after. It was just waiting for me on my shelf for the right time.
The book shows many different moments in which anxiety can affect life but also how to cope with it. I just needed that little reminder that everything will be ok and that I'm already doing a very good job of taking care of my mental health.
I really love Haig's writing style and I found his look on life and his person very likeable. It was like sitting down with a friend sharing and evaluating some important moments in life.
I loved this book so much and found myself in the pages but also saw that I'm not alone and that is what I really needed rn.
It definitely won't be my last book by the author and I'm excited to pick up another one soon!
Highly recommend!
