As usual， Matt Haig's nonfiction is great。 Thought provoking and hopeful。 I bookmarked so many pages to revisit！ Recommend for anyone needing a daily pick-me-up or for a sleepless night。 His thoughts and writings take you beyond yourself and to view the world in a different， gentle， but uplifting way。 All the stars。 As usual， Matt Haig's nonfiction is great。 Thought provoking and hopeful。 I bookmarked so many pages to revisit！ Recommend for anyone needing a daily pick-me-up or for a sleepless night。 His thoughts and writings take you beyond yourself and to view the world in a different， gentle， but uplifting way。 All the stars。 。。。more

Full disclosure。 I love Matt Haig。 I think he’s an awesome human。 I love how open and honest he is about his mental health。 How he inspires others to do the same。 I love his simple outlook on life。 So yes， I loved this book of quotes， essays， the odd recipe， playlists etc。 It’s a book to dip in and out of， to gift a friend having a bad day， week， yearly simply just because you love them deeply。 As someone who has suffered panic attacks since my teens， I found this helpful & quite lovely。 One for Full disclosure。 I love Matt Haig。 I think he’s an awesome human。 I love how open and honest he is about his mental health。 How he inspires others to do the same。 I love his simple outlook on life。 So yes， I loved this book of quotes， essays， the odd recipe， playlists etc。 It’s a book to dip in and out of， to gift a friend having a bad day， week， yearly simply just because you love them deeply。 As someone who has suffered panic attacks since my teens， I found this helpful & quite lovely。 One for my nightstand permanently…。 💕 。。。more

This is a short， but profound and powerful book to help anyone struggling with mental health， particularly during this challenging pandemic period！ The author has gone through his own periods of deep depression， and suicidal thoughts and shares some of his favorite tools to help; lists of favorite movies， songs， quotes， and inspirational stories。 I really enjoyed learning more about how amazing Nellie Bly was and hearing his take on the power of the movie Ferris Bueller's day off。 A great book t This is a short， but profound and powerful book to help anyone struggling with mental health， particularly during this challenging pandemic period！ The author has gone through his own periods of deep depression， and suicidal thoughts and shares some of his favorite tools to help; lists of favorite movies， songs， quotes， and inspirational stories。 I really enjoyed learning more about how amazing Nellie Bly was and hearing his take on the power of the movie Ferris Bueller's day off。 A great book to gift to anyone in your life who is having a hard time right now。 Wonderful on audio， read by the author。Favorite quotes:"Words are seeds。 Language is a way back to life and it is sometimes the most vital comfort we have。""[Pain] doesn't go away by pretending it isn't there。""Extending compassion to all things helps us connect to the unity of life。" 。。。more

When I found out that Matt Haig was bringing out another non-fiction novel， I was beyond excited to get my hands on it。 As much as I adore his fiction novels （and I really do）， his non-fiction books just fill me with so much joy and love。 They are honest and raw and vulnerable and full of emotion。The Comfort Book was no different in that respect。 It was beautifully honest， not shying away from the hard stuff， but facing it head on。 It was full of quotes and poetry and other people's stories and When I found out that Matt Haig was bringing out another non-fiction novel， I was beyond excited to get my hands on it。 As much as I adore his fiction novels （and I really do）， his non-fiction books just fill me with so much joy and love。 They are honest and raw and vulnerable and full of emotion。The Comfort Book was no different in that respect。 It was beautifully honest， not shying away from the hard stuff， but facing it head on。 It was full of quotes and poetry and other people's stories and I just loved it。 There are so many pages and quotes that I underlined and highlighted and I could write all of my favourite quotes down but then you wouldn't even have to read the book！ So I will just write down this one， my favourite:"ChapterThere is no point spending an entire life trying to win the love you didn't feel when you needed it。 You sometimes just have to let go of an old story and start your own。 Give yourself some love。 You can't change the past。 You can't change other people。 You can change you though。 You narrate this story。 So start to write a new chapter。" 。。。more

Thank you to Edelweiss and the publisher for this advanced copy。Matt Haig does it again。 His writing always speaks to my heart and I can honestly say his non fiction in particular has helped me through some truly dark times。 This new title was no different and is a book that the whole world needs right now。

ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 This book is going to be one I refer to frequently as there are so many comforting nuggets of wisdom throughout。 Poems， lists of movies and songs， and reminders and affirmations all woven together to provide encouragement and make the reader feel a little less alone。 Truly does feel like a hug from a friend。

Review of digital ARC。 Although I am sure that Matt Haig writes great fiction， this book is very dull and uncomforting。 There are some useful thoughts and nice poetic lists but unfortunately much of the advice seems trite， repetitive， or unoriginal。 Some of the advice seems like the type of thing you'd find in a quaint but cheesy gift shop selling soaps and candles。 Sorry for the harsh review but there are other books， like Ross Gay's "Book of Delights，" that are much better in this genre。 Review of digital ARC。 Although I am sure that Matt Haig writes great fiction， this book is very dull and uncomforting。 There are some useful thoughts and nice poetic lists but unfortunately much of the advice seems trite， repetitive， or unoriginal。 Some of the advice seems like the type of thing you'd find in a quaint but cheesy gift shop selling soaps and candles。 Sorry for the harsh review but there are other books， like Ross Gay's "Book of Delights，" that are much better in this genre。 。。。more

A sweet little book full of hope and encouragement。 The author had written notes to himself in his deepest well of despair and turned it into The Comfort Book。 Each of its short meditations gives a new perspective on life and all of its highs and lows。*Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for for an e-arc of this title。*
