A must for everyone

Wonderfully written and narrated by someone who's lived and continues to live with the struggles of mental health. Possibly a life saving piece of literature. A huge thank you to Matt...

Surprised.

This was my first audiobook and I much prefer having a book in my hand and reading it. So, I didn’t think I would like this even in the beginning I was thinking hmm, it won’t have a huge affect on me. But I was surprised to find myself crying at the very last chapter. It was beautiful and sums up a very hard mental Illness but also gives you a lot of hope in a realistic way but also somehow makes you believe in magic. It beautiful. He is a lovely writer, my first book of his was the midnight library that was just as amazing and life changing for me.
Highly recommend.

A tough listen but worth it

This book may be short in length but it’s so dense with information and stories.

Insightful

This is the first audiobook that has fully captured my attention. Matt Haig reading the book made it that much more raw. I’ve suffered depression and anxiety at various stages throughout my life, but not to the extent of the author. My heart went out to him as I recalled, through his beautiful descriptions, the paralysis and fear that engulfs you. His healing methods may not work for everyone, but that’s the whole point: finding what works for you so that you can climb back out of the hole and keep going. Highly recommended.

Verbal brain tonic

I found this book after loving another of his works - The Night Library.
This short and sweet, semi biographical story is almost a self help book as much as true story about his battle with anxiety and depression. Full of great noteworthy quotes and insights, I found it inspirational and a tonic to my own battles.
A great read!

Masterful!

Everyone needs this book!

Matt Haig is searingly honest & eloquently powerful in his own accounts of mental health experiences, management & recovery. This was a book I have needed for a long time & especially right now. This is pure encouragement, belonging & healing.

Bringing You Back from the Precipice

Unsettled by the power of the words and their ability to narrate my thoughts ... but I am the Sky and depression is a cloud, the Sky can exist without the cloud and the cloud needs the Sky to exist ♡
Loved this imagery in my mind movie best.
Thank you Matt, the clouds colour is lightening ♡
