He stayed in bed for 3 days, but he didn’t sleep. One morning two weeks before he was due to go back to the UK, he woke up realising something was terribly wrong. This is the heartfelt story of someone who has lived through the worst of times, but found a way through.Īt 24, Matt was living in Ibiza with his girlfriend. The first thing I feel I need to make clear is that this isn’t a self-help book, not that I have a particular problem with self-help books, but because this is so much more than that. It is the story of Matt Haig, the crisis that struck him in his early twenties, how he came through that and how he has continued to triumph over the mental illness that almost destroyed him and how, despite all this he has learnt to live joyfully again. I am all too aware that I may have trouble condensing my admiration for this book so do bear with me. The difference between these quotes and the usual crop of plaudits that adorn many books is that they all seem to say something valuable, very much like the book itself. The Cover features quotes from various celebrity readers and newspapers. I remember reading reviews about this book by Matt Haig when it was published last year but it was only after hearing Matt speak at the Quick Reads event I attended recently I realised I needed to read it.
