Be kind to your mind ! Be kind to yourself !

Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig .

It’s a thought-provoking memoir by Matt Haig on his own struggles with depression in his early years and his powerful recovery story.

This book talks about mental well being in depth and contains many hard to digest, must know facts under this topic. So, please be sure to check for any trigger warnings before reading the book.

The writing style and the choice of words are very important for books that talk about such sensitive topics and the author has beautifully written this book in a very impactful & in an inspiring way. At many places, it felt like he was sitting right in front of me and narrating the story himself.

There is a chapter in this book named “White Space”, in which the author talks about his love for books and the reader in me really really loved it.

Just putting in a few of my favourite lines that I had written down in my journal while reading this book.

“ Words — spoken or written — are what connects us to the world ”

“ Listen more than you talk ”

“ Live. Love. Let go. The three Ls.”

“ Time heals. The tunnel does have light at the end of it, even if we aren’t able to see it. “

“ Words, just sometimes, can set you free. “

We are all humans. We learn life by living. Sometimes, in this process of learning, things do not happen the way we would like them to happen and we are bound to experience certain feelings that are not exactly joyous. We must learn to live through tough times, we must learn to let things go and we must learn to live in the present.

Trust ! Believe ! Have Faith! And as Matt says in his book, believe it or not, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

I am so glad that the author chose to share his experience to the world via this book and I am so glad that I read it.

It is relatively short and a quick read. So, if you are someone who would like to read a memoir of a real and inspiring recovery story, please give this book a try.

Happy Reading!
