His descriptions of what it’s like having anxiety were too on the nose for me and made me…anxious myself. And his thoughts on technology and what it’s doing to the world seemed like nothing that hasn’t been said before and elsewhere? I dunno. Just…nothing earthshattering here for me, but it may be amusing and worthwhile for others. Matt Haig has helped me understand myself. I can think of no greater praise to offer. His books are insightful. They show a first-hand understanding of mental illness, and speak of approaches one can use to heal oneself. These aren't prescriptive in any way. It is acknowledged that everyone is different and unique and special. And equally that one can build within oneself a place of peace and health. We all deserve this. Audiobook for commute reading I have to DNF this one. The thing about listening to an extremely vivid description of a panic attack is that you yourself might also begin to experience a panic attack. Luckily I was on the way home from work and not on my way there when I heard this part. I'm not sure how I would've coped if I'd had to be around peope. I'd like to finish the book. I have no doubt there's some kind of redemption, but every time I think about playing it, I get that ball of glutinous dread in my tummy. The next time I run across a hard copy, I'll skim the ending. I'm sure Matt Haig would understand. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"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"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

I'd say this is good short time reading, like 5-10 minutes at a time. Some notes would be good journal prompts. Others you may want to pass over but come back to another time. ( )
