“A very special book that has provided a beam of hope to so many.”—DOLLY ALDERTON

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FEEL TRULY ALIVE?

Aged 24, Matt Haig's world caved in. He could see no way to go on living. This is the true story of how he came through crisis, triumphed over an illness that almost destroyed him, and learned to live again.

It has helped millions of people do the same. Moving, funny, and even joyous, these are the lessons Matt learned. His reasons to stay alive.

"I wrote this book because the oldest clichés remain the truest. Time heals. The bottom of the valley never provides the clearest view. The tunnel does have light at the end of it, even if we haven't been able to see it . . . Words, just sometimes, really can set you free."

Info I never knew things I knew, but couldn’t explain

There’s nothing I didn’t dislike. It was so well written and and broken down so people could understand.

helps understanding and empathy

if you have experienced anxiety/depression this will help you understand what is happening and that it is ok to need help, ok for healing to be a long process, how to keep going. if someone you know is having this experience, you will be better equipped to help them.
Read by the author in a very relatable style and not without humor.

Vulnerable and raw mixed with humor

I enjoyed the book and found it engaging considering the hard topic. It is good to hear from a person who has lived experiences with behavioral health. I work in this field and always find myself intrigued by people's determination in the face of pain and suffering.

Beautiful, Brilliant, Interesting and Stabilizing

Loved it. Anyone who has ever had any amount of depression and/or anxiety will enjoy this book. I've turned several friends on to it and they have all really enjoyed it. You don't need to be on the edge to get something out of this book but if you are, definitely read this along with The Comfort Book, Notes on a Nervous Planet, and The Life Impossible. And please remember, this too will pass.

Perfect Read for Rough Days

Author delivers exactly what the title promises. Wonderful way to turn around a serious funk. This gentleman has done the human race a serious favor with his honesty and incredible courage in writing this book.

Inside view of Depression and Anxiety

So descriptive of the agony, while being hopeful and offering good advice that anyone can use.

Revelatory

I learned so much, and gained insights into depression and anxiety disorders. I applaud Mr Haig for his courage in sharing his story - I have to believe that he has helped so many people in doing so,

Thank you for making sense of my feelings

This book spoke to me in so many ways, describing feelings I was having but couldn’t recognize and organize into words. This books did that for me. Highly recommend.

I didn’t know what I didn’t know

I feel like listening to this book provided insight into how my son could be feeling. I feel like I might have been dismissive of some of what he has been going through. I feel like I can understand him a little better. Well worth the listen.

Just what I needed

Thank you for crystallizing my amorphous thoughts and feelings and shining light through the resulting lens.
