"It's okay to be broken."Why Matt Haig`s The Comfort Book?[ © Wouter Tulp, woutertulp.tumblr.com.]The words in this book are like a comforting hug. A Comfort Hug."It is a strange paradox, that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learned while we are at our lowest.""Our mind might make prisons, but it also gives us keys."[ © Rhythmpaws, deviantart.com.]When going through times that are insane, crazy, down, low, despair or depressed, all a person need is a hand that holds their
I’ll give you three guesses what this book is about.Oh, you only need one? Well done then. The author of 2020’s fictional The Midnight Library and the self-help memoirs Reasons to Stay Alive and Notes on a Nervous Planet has written a new little “gifting” book that’s essentially a personal journal he’s now sharing with the world. As someone who struggles with anxiety and depression, he’s kept notes, lists, and quotes to help him find the sun on the dark days. The Comfort Book begs to be put on a...
"Happiness occurs when you forget who you’re expected to be. And what you’re expected to do. Happiness is an accident of self-acceptance. It’s the warm breeze you feel when you open the door to who you are.".“Life is understood backward; but it must be lived forward”."Be curious. Go outside. Get to bed on time. Hydrate. Breathe from the diaphragm. Eat happy. Get a routine baggy enough to live in. Be kind. Accept that not everyone will like you. Appreciate those who do. Don’t be defined. Allow fu...
Some parts felt flat yet others were sublime to the extent that I wanted nothing more than to tear those pages out of the book and put them into a sweet pie, then eat it. Maybe stew some in my tea. Maybe chew some raw... Yep, sounds crazy (a reader fantasising about eating the choice parts of a fav book, LOL!) but that's about the vividest imagery I've ever had.
White man with depression, book agent, and multiple best sellers writes morsels of text paraphrased from other authors. Could have been an email newsletter.
I needed this book today. And this book came out just at the right time just when I was in need of such a book. That too from one of my favourite authors. Thank you, Matt Haig.The weekend just before this book's release, I was having a very difficult time dealing with pain and I was in a dilemma on what to do next with my life. I was feeling quite overwhelmed. I thought I would be able to calm down a bit when the actual week starts but Monday went to Tuesday and I was still in the same situation...
What an absolutely beautiful book. As I read somewhere about it.. a hug in the form of a book.It is a book of quotes, of stories, of thoughts and so much more. In the world today we all need hope. There is something for everybody in here. Not necessarily a book you will read cover to cover. It is one that you can pick up and read just a small part of, or alot of. On days you need something to cheer you up, or just to inspire you.As somebody who has been at the bottom of the bottom, alot of the w...
The Comfort Book by Matt Haig, a book which is no less than a comforting hug from a loved one. This is my second book by Matt Haig and I must say I am slowly and steadily falling in love with this author's work. The book came to me at the right time."𝙉𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄𝙨 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙖 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙪𝙥."There are times in life, when inspite of doing your best and giving your best at the things you love, everything falls short. There are times when you just feel like giving up, and think is...
It’s not easy reviewing a Matt Haig book - in my opinion he is literary Marmite. You either love everything he does and draw comfort from him, or you view him as an entitled hack cashing in on misery. His earlier work “Reasons To Stay Alive” (the title alone makes me angry) was a bestseller, of course, but I avoided it because it seemed to be nothing more than a rich, middle-class weekender monetising his depression whilst being vain enough to believe he can help others with the same condition.
"The best thing about rock bottom is the rock part. You discover the solid bit of you. The bit that can't be broken down further...at our lowest, we find the solid ground of our foundation. And we can build ourselves anew"I simply picked up this book after falling in love with Matt Haig's The Midnight Library. I had no idea that it was an anecdotal book designed as an allegory for life. It's a warm cozy evening by the fire sipping your coffee, walking through the autumn leaves after the rain, le...

Update : preordered!🎉 The cover is absolutely gorgeous!Haig's books make me feel opposite emotions... Reading them is so good for the soul, but waiting for their publication is torture!
"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...
instead of buying this book, search "self help" on tumblr. i swear it's the same thing
