Matt Haig also speaks honestly and openly about his own struggles with mental illness, which frames the book as a whole and gives it context.Īlthough I enjoyed the impressive variety of the book, I would have preferred a bit more structure. The style is down-to-earth and unpretentious, placing renowned philosophers side-by-side with movie recommendations. I was not disappointed by this delightfully eclectic collection that incorporates psychology, philosophy, history, fiction, and more. So when I saw that he had a new release, it went straight onto my list of anticipated reads for 2022. The author has been such a valuable contributor to reducing the stigma around mental illness. The Comfort Book really does feel like a hug in book form! I loved all of the books by Matt Haig that I have read so far, including Reasons to Stay Alive and Notes on a Nervous Planet. Designed to be a cover-to-cover companion on the worst days, or simply to dip into when you’re feeling a little lost, this unique read offers a gentle dose of affirmation and self-care within every page. The Comfort Book grew from this principle of hope and Haig’s desire to share it with readers.
When author Matt Haig was in the darkest days of his depression, he noted down any and all of the quotes, advice, observations, inspiration, or anecdotes that brought him comfort and hope.
