THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The world is messing with our minds.
Rates of stress and anxiety are rising. A fast, 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.
– How can we stay sane on a planet that makes us mad?
– How do we stay human in a technological world?
– How do we feel happy when we are encouraged to be anxious?
After experiencing years of anxiety and panic attacks, these questions became urgent matters of life and death for Matt Haig. And he began to look for the link between what he felt and the world around him. Notes on a Nervous Planet is a personal and vital look at how to feel happy, human and whole in the twenty-first century.

Critic Reviews

"Witty, honest and engaging . . . A worthy successor to Reasons to Stay Alive"
"An honest and human guide to coping with the modern world . . . Notes on a Nervous Planet is generous, sensible and timely. Reading it will probably be good for your mental health. Especially if you leave your smartphone in another room . . . Thought-provoking"
"Thought-provoking . . . [Haig's] hard-won wisdom asks us to think about how we can live in the present – and in so doing, he creates a wonderfully perceptive chronicle of life in the always-on social media age. A real-world guide to mindfulness"
"Beautiful, honest and wise" (FEARNE COTTON)
"Notes on a Nervous Planet is a fascinating look at the link between anxiety and the world we live in . . . [Haig is] one of our warmest, wittiest and wisest writers"
"Genius" (RUBY WAX)
"Haig’s bestseller Reasons to Stay Alive was an engaging self-help memoir which mined personal trauma for valuable life lessons. This follow-up is a rag-bag of personal experience, thoughts and feelings . . . some thought-provoking, some pertinent and important . . . He’s a smart operator who knows his readership and genuinely wants to help them . . . I reached the last page admiring the author’s inventive energy and insight" (Bel Mooney)
"Take Notes on a Nervous Planet twice daily, with or without food. The book is crammed with wisdom, insight, love and wit" (STEPHEN FRY)
"A primer for how to live in the present moment. This book will find grateful readers everywhere" (NIGELLA LAWSON)
"Matt Haig has written really something rather special here – the definitive user manual for your own head. It's a self-help book that – unusually for the genre – talks in sensible, practical terms not in vague aphorisms and allegories. Recommended for anyone who's ever wobbled, and that's all of us" (ADAM KAY)
