if you, or someone you love, is having a mental-health crisis, or struggling with what feels like an insurmountable disappointment, failure or fall from grace.
A quick summary
A vivid account of falling down hard and being in dire straights for a long time, but coming back to life, health, joy, and love. Matt Haig writes so well on anxiety, on how it felt to have his mental health collapse catastrophically, and on the reality of healing and recovery (not a glib ‘everything is fine now’ but the complex, multi-sided reality). There are also plenty of bitesize sections, for anyone whose concentration is shot to pieces – you can dip in for 5 minutes and get something meaningful to digest.
