"The most powerful moment in life is when you decide not to be scared anymore"This book has created so many emotions in me。 Matt Haig has definitely become my favorite author。 I love that he can write different genres including non-fiction， a genre that I don't tend to read a lot and still， entertain me so much。 The Comfort Book is the kind of book that you don't have to read in order， you can skip chapters and read it when you need words of encouragement in your life， it's one of those books th "The most powerful moment in life is when you decide not to be scared anymore"This book has created so many emotions in me。 Matt Haig has definitely become my favorite author。 I love that he can write different genres including non-fiction， a genre that I don't tend to read a lot and still， entertain me so much。 The Comfort Book is the kind of book that you don't have to read in order， you can skip chapters and read it when you need words of encouragement in your life， it's one of those books that I think you should always have on your nightstand。I learned so much from this book even though in my opinion， it was extremely short。 Matt Haig talks about his mental health and the way he has struggled with it his whole life while giving you different recommendations for feel-good movies， recipes， and music。 In addition， Haig tells us how we can continue our lives despite the bad experiences we have had in the past， how to appreciate imperfections as a natural part of our existence and how to accept our mental health and just allow ourselves to live。AMAZING BOOK HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT ！！！4。5 STARSThank you so much to Penguin Group for this Arc in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I'm a huge fan of Matt Haig， starting with his book， REASONS TO STAY ALIVE。 I have a special affection for his non-fiction and so got very excited when I found out he had another one coming out。 THE COMFORT BOOK is everything you want in a book with that title。 The book is all about seeking comfort in yourself or the small area around you and knowing that you are， indeed， enough。 It's a book of hope and relief， of happiness and catharsis， and， of course， of comfort。 Matt doesn't ask much of his I'm a huge fan of Matt Haig， starting with his book， REASONS TO STAY ALIVE。 I have a special affection for his non-fiction and so got very excited when I found out he had another one coming out。 THE COMFORT BOOK is everything you want in a book with that title。 The book is all about seeking comfort in yourself or the small area around you and knowing that you are， indeed， enough。 It's a book of hope and relief， of happiness and catharsis， and， of course， of comfort。 Matt doesn't ask much of his readers because he knows that when people suffer， we suffer in all sorts of ways and no two solutions work for the same people。 This book is structured so you can take a tiny dose of comfort or sit down for an hour and reflect on the thoughts Matt shares in this book。 I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a "pick-me-up" in book form， those needing reassurance that it's okay to just be okay， and anyone who loved his previous works like REASONS TO STAY ALIVE and NOTES ON A NERVOUS PLANET。 ***read thanks to an ARC from Penguin** 。。。more

I’ve read every book Matt Haig has published， and this book is classic Matt Haig。 While it’s titled The Comfort Book， I see it more as a book of mental health devotionals。 As such， I recommend a little reading on bad days rather powering through from cover-to-cover。 Haig's voice is sincere and authentic， speaking from a place of understanding， so though this book doesn't really have any new insights， that's rather the point of why it's comforting。 You know what you're going to get。 Haig gives us I’ve read every book Matt Haig has published， and this book is classic Matt Haig。 While it’s titled The Comfort Book， I see it more as a book of mental health devotionals。 As such， I recommend a little reading on bad days rather powering through from cover-to-cover。 Haig's voice is sincere and authentic， speaking from a place of understanding， so though this book doesn't really have any new insights， that's rather the point of why it's comforting。 You know what you're going to get。 Haig gives us a "The Best of---" with his words， his re-words， and the occasional quote to use as reference for further reading。 Haig readers won't be disappointed as long as they approach the book understanding this text reads like well-worn slippers feel。 。。。more
