WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FEEL TRULY ALIVE?

Aged 24, Matt Haig's world caved in. He could see no way to go on living. This is the true story of how he came through crisis, triumphed over an illness that almost destroyed him and learned to live again.

A moving, funny and joyous exploration of how to live better, love better and feel more alive, Reasons to Stay Alive is more than a memoir. It is a book about making the most of your time on earth.

'I wrote this book because the oldest clichés remain the truest. Time heals. The bottom of the valley never provides the clearest view. The tunnel does have light at the end of it, even if we haven't been able to see it . . . Words, just sometimes, really can set you free.'

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Maybe the most important book I've read this year" (SIMON MAYO)
"A life-saving book" (AMANDA CRAIG)
"Brings a difficult and sensitive subject out of the darkness and into the light" (MICHAEL PALIN)
"Full of wisdoms and warmth" (NATHAN FILER)
"Matt Haig is a marvellous writer: limpid; tender; passionate. In this memoir (and it's short, barely 200 pages long), he manages to articulate, both the bleakness of depression and the means of dealing with it, little by little, day by day, without ever sounding maudlin, or self-indulgent, or preachy. For everyone who has ever felt the snap of the black dog's teeth, this book is wise, funny, affirming and redemptive. Sometimes depression can be like falling into a wordless pit. Matt Haig finds the words. And he says them for all of us" (JOANNE HARRIS)
"Reasons to Stay Alive is wonderful. I read it in one sitting. Touching, funny, thought-provoking, with a huge heart. It should be read by anyone who has suffered, or known someone who has suffered (i.e.. everyone)" (S J WATSON)
"Fascinating and beautifully written" (IAN RANKIN)
"Matt Haig uses words like a tin-opener. We are the tin" (JEANETTE WINTERSON)
"Thoughtful, honest and incredibly insightful" (JENNY COLGAN)
"Brilliant and salutary . . . should be on prescription" (REV. RICHARD COLES)
"Matt Haig is astounding" (STEPHEN FRY)
"For anyone who has faced the black dog, or felt despair, this marvellous book is a real comfort, dealing sympathetically with depression, written with candour and from first-hand experience. I think it is a small masterpiece. It might even save lives" (JOANNA LUMLEY)
"A really great read, and essential to our collective well-being" (JO BRAND)

Congratulations to Matt Haig for being a survivor of such a horrible illness. Thanks for providing an account of your own experience which can give company to those going through their own. I hope you found catharsis in sharing it and I wish you - and all readers - respite from the black dog.

Dear Matt Haig, just in case you also read Audible audiobook reviews (in addition to Amazon and Goodreads): I really enjoyed The Humans and Echo Boy but I'm afraid Reasons To Stay Alive was not my type of book. It's remarkable and admirable that you wrote, published and even narrated something so personal, something so honest but I'm afraid I didn't like it. I know I'm not supposed to enjoy a book like this but I just found it a tad too whiny.
I'm looking forward to more Fiction audiobooks of yours as I really like your style of crafting a fictional story.

Not my type of book

It is not a self-help book. It is not an autobiography. it is not a scientific treatise on depression.
....or, it is all of the above
Yet first and foremost it is beautiful and it will make your life just a little bit richer.

Truly beautiful

I am halfway through and find it odd that the only evidence of any existing cure to the horrors being described is the existence of this book. As the author lists books he read, I wonder what that has to do with anything. The reasons to stay alive are thin on the ground. In reality it is quite depressing, so far. As I said, I am only a couple of hours in. I write this review now as I doubt my ability to finish this work. This is written accompanied by genuine sympathy for what the author has experienced. Puts us in a difficult position. It appears that many have enjoyed this work. I am not one of them. I wish the author well.

A brave topic to write about and I admire the author for tackling a sensitive subject. I was hooked at the beginning but it starts to ramble. In particular I didn't like the tweet section and this felt long. I had to push myself to finish the book.
