Ideal for readers seeking comfort, insight and gentle guidance, this set has helped millions navigate difficult times with warmth, humour and hard-won wisdom from an internationally acclaimed author.. About the Book(s). Reasons to Stay Alive is Matt Haig's candid account of the mental health crisis he faced at twenty-four, when severe depression and anxiety brought him to the edge. It traces his journey back from that darkest point, exploring how he learned to live again with humour, tenderness and clarity. Far from a bleak read, it is an upbeat, life-affirming exploration of what it means to feel truly alive, and has become a touchstone book for anyone touched by depression, whether personally or through someone they love.. Notes on a Nervous Planet, the follow-up, turns Haig's attention outward to the modern world itself. He examines how sleep, social media, the news cycle, work culture and constant connectivity feed the anxiety so many of us feel, and offers thoughtful, grounded ways to reclaim calm and perspective. Witty, warm and full of hard-won insight, it works as both a natural companion to Reasons to Stay Alive and a standalone guide to feeling more human in an overwhelming, always-on world. Together the two books form a compassionate, non-clinical resource on mental wellbeing that resonates with readers of all ages and backgrounds.. Two complementary reads: one intimate memoir, one cultural exploration of modern anxiety.. Written by Matt Haig,
