Synopsis:
A small book for anyone in search of hope, looking for a path to a more meaningful life, or in need of encouragement.
Years ago, Matt Haig began writing notes to his future self. These notes were meant as gifts; offerings of hope to help himself through anything from the darkest periods of his life to a not-so-great day. As time went on, he added new thoughts and stories and he turned them into The Comfort Book so that everyone could draw on this well of reassurance and encouragement. Each of its short meditations gives a new perspective on life and all of its highs and lows--small islands of hope for anyone looking for a more fulfilling, more uplifting way through life. Incorporating a diverse array of sources from across the world, history, science, and his own experiences, Haig offers warmth and reassurance, reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty of unpredictability of existence.
My Thoughts:
Matt Haig shares uplifting experiences, insightful sentiments, unique interpretations, quotes, and more in this comforting book of hope.
In times of great chaos, it's voices like Matt's that help lift us out of whatever funk or pit of despair we may be in, or even just give us a new perspective or reminder of better days
. As an author who once 'hit rock bottom', Haig is rather down-to-earth and understanding and that fully comes across in his newest nonfiction. He shares stories from his childhood, life lessons that helped him on his journey, instagram-style poetry, and more.
I've followed this author on social media for some years now and have always enjoyed his mental health content. I've also really enjoyed most of the books I've read by him and definitely recommend this if you've enjoyed his books in the past.
