Synopsis

The instant #1 international bestseller from the beloved author of How to Stop Time and The Humans

The societies we are part of are increasingly making our minds ill. It very often feels that the way we live is almost engineered to make us unhappy. Whether it is our attitudes toward sleep, the marketing messages that inundate us daily, the constant and hysterical news cycle, social media or even the way we educate our children, we are programming ourselves to put our bodies and minds at odds and setting ourselves up with expectations for our lives that prevent our happiness.

When Matt became ill with panic disorder, anxiety and depression, it took him a long time to work out the ways the external world could impact his mental health in positive and negative ways. Notes on a Nervous Planet shares his journey back to happiness and all of the lessons that Matt learned along the way.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

An insightful, heartfelt and often funny look at how modern life is messing with our minds, and how to live a better life.

Rates of stress and anxiety are rising. A fast and nervous planet is creating fast and nervous lives. We are more connected yet feel more alone. And we are encouraged to worry about everything from world politics to our body mass index. The way we live is almost engineered to make us unhappy.

When Matt Haig developed panic disorder, anxiety and depression as an adult, he began to look for the ways in which the external world could impact his mental health in both positive and negative ways. Now, in Notes on a Nervous Planet, he has spun that understanding with the warmth and insight he is known for to create a personal and vital set of instructions for how to feel happy, human and whole in the 21st century.
