Resumen del Editor

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library.

"Destined to become a modern classic."—Entertainment Weekly

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FEEL TRULY ALIVE?

At the age of 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.

A moving, funny and joyous exploration of how to live better, love better and feel more alive, Reasons to Stay Alive is more than a memoir. It is a book about making the most of your time on earth.

"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."

Named one of Entertainment Weekly's Must-Read Books of 2016

"An in-depth exploration of Haig’s battle with depression, if you need a pick-me-up on a very fundamental level, you could do a lot worse than this book."—PEOPLE

"I dog-eared 45 pages in Haig's compact book where he wrote profound or poignant things. I could have easily marked more of them."—Jim Higgings, THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL

"Wonderful and essential"—Christopher Weir, THE HUFFINGTON POST

Thank you

Loved this book. It meant a lot to me in my life right now. Thank you.

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.

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.

Beware of Tuesdays and October. I cried laughing

Thanks Matt Haig I really needed this book in my life. I might need it again later

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.

Staying alive

This book and The Comfort Book literally have kept me going the last several months, as I’ve waded through the muddy waters of depression and anxiety most of my life. These books are life giving. Thank you.

Not for Me

This book had a lot of straightforward assertions about depression, but there was very little depth to it. I disagree with the choice for the author to serve as the narrator; something in his regional dialect or personal speech pattern made me feel like I was being barked at and harangued.
