[2019]., Adult, HarperAvenue Call No: 616.85 H149n Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A follow-up to Matt Haig's internationally bestselling memoir, Reasons to Stay Alive, a broader look at how modern life feeds our anxiety, and how to live a better life. The societies we live in are increasingly making our minds ill, making it feel as though the way we live is engineered to make us unhappy. When Matt Haig developed panic disorder, anxiety, and depression as an adult, it took him a long time to work out the ways the external world could impact his mental health in both positive and negative ways. Notes on a Nervous Planet collects his observations, taking a look at how the various social, commercial and technological "advancements" that have created the world we now live in can actually hinder our happiness. Haig examines everything from broader phenomena like inequality, social media, and the news; to things closer to our daily lives, like how we sleep, how we exercise, and even the distinction we draw between our minds and our bodies"--Provided by publisher.

By Haig, Matt2016., Adult, HarperCollins Call No: 158.092 H149r Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A wonderfully moving and upbeat account of how Matt Haig survived depression and anxiety, and also a life-affirming guide to helping yourself -- and others -- through mental illness.

Matt Haig could have added to that statistic when, aged 24, he found himself staring at a cliff-edge about to jump off. This is the story of why he didn't, and how he recovered and learned to live with anxiety and depression. It's also an optimistic, joyous and often funny exploration of how to live better, love better, read better and feel more. A wonderful mix of memoir and hard-won wisdom, Reasons to Stay Alive is, at heart, about making the most of your time on earth. Matt Haig suffered a breakdown in his early twenties. After battling depression for a long time he turned to writing, and he believes that reading and writing books saved his life. His novels, often dark and quirky takes on family life, include The Last Family in England, The Radleys and The Humans. Matt was born in was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire"--Provided by publisher.
