“A very special book that has provided a beam of hope to so many.”—DOLLY ALDERTON
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FEEL TRULY ALIVE?
Aged 24, Matt Haig's world caved in. He could see no way to go on living. This is the true story of how he came through crisis, triumphed over an illness that almost destroyed him, and learned to live again.
It has helped millions of people do the same. Moving, funny, and even joyous, these are the lessons Matt learned. His reasons to stay alive.
"I wrote this book because the oldest clichés remain the truest. Time heals. The bottom of the valley never provides the clearest view. The tunnel does have light at the end of it, even if we haven't been able to see it . . . Words, just sometimes, really can set you free."

"A very special book that has provided a beam of hope to so many in their darkest days." -- DOLLY ALDERTON
"Destined to become a modern classic." —Entertainment Weekly
"An in-depth exploration of Haig’s battle with depression, if you need a pick-me-up on a very fundamental level, you could do a lot worse than this book." ―PEOPLE
"I dog-eared 45 pages in Haig's compact book where he wrote profound or poignant things. I could have easily marked more of them." ―Jim Higgings, THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
"Wonderful and essential." ―Christopher Weir, THE HUFFINGTON POST
