The instant #1 international bestseller from the beloved author of How to Stop Time and The Humans

The societies we are part of are increasingly making our minds ill. It very often feels that the way we live is almost engineered to make us unhappy. Whether it is our attitudes toward sleep, the marketing messages that inundate us daily, the constant and hysterical news cycle, social media or even the way we educate our children, we are programming ourselves to put our bodies and minds at odds and setting ourselves up with expectations for our lives that prevent our happiness.

When Matt became ill with panic disorder, anxiety and depression, it took him a long time to work out the ways the external world could impact his mental health in positive and negative ways. Notes on a Nervous Planet shares his journey back to happiness and all of the lessons that Matt learned along the way.

      Audiobook listeners, are you feeling overwhelmed at work and at home? Anxious? Weary of keeping up with your social media, email, and entertainment accounts? In emotional turmoil? Then the information herein--short, punchy, usable lists of how to cope on a daily basis--is for you. But sadly, as an audiobook, it might do you more harm than good. Author Matt Haig narrates his own work, and although he has an engaging voice and British accent, his approach is morose. True, he is talking about the negative effects of contemporary society on our behavior, but this is a self-help book. We need some hope, and Haig, through his gloomy tone, gives us precious little of that. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
