The approachable and inspirational autobiography of Matt Haig about his battle with depression and how overcoming the condition taught him to live.
Matt Haig is depressed, like almost one in five individuals. In Motivating Reasons to Stay Alive, Matt shares his moving story of overcoming the illness day by day and minute by minute with the support of writing, reading, and his parents' and fiancée Andrea's love. And in the end, he discovered how much more to cherish life.
Mental illness affects everyone; even if we do not personally experience it, we probably know someone who does. For individuals who are intimidated by sadness and for those who are confused by it, Matt's candour about his own experiences is both enlightening and inspirational. Above all, his support and sense of humour kept us from losing hope. Matt is certain that the most clichéd statement—that there is hope—is accurate, as he addresses his past self at a period of extreme sadness. He tells us that there are always reasons to be alive and encourages us to enjoy the little pleasures and peaceful moments that life offers.
