Reading is one thing that saved him from a debilitating, paralyzing depression. It is a quick, witty and at times profound take on an illness many people suffer from, but sometimes cannot bring themselves to talk about. “Reasons to Stay Alive” is equal parts self-help and memoir. Haig came close to committing suicide in his early 20s, but he stopped himself from jumping off a cliff. In this book Matt Haig offers people with depression “Reasons to Stay Alive.”
No, I’m not depressed, but I have close people who suffered from depression at some point. A lot of people are not even aware that they are depressed. Often we talk about people coming out of the closet and disclosing their status,, in this book Matt Haig comes out of the closet and discloses that he is depressed.Ĭome to think of it, not a lot of people accept or even disclose that they are depressed. Reasons to Stay Alive is basically about depression and how to overcome it. This book was a pure luck book I stumbled across and decided to lay my eyes on.
Some books you stumble across and then wonder how you came to read them.
