“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."

Not What I Was Expecting
A better title for this book would be “Why I Needed to Find Reasons to Stay Alive.” There was one section of reasons, but they were from twitter so it was annoying. This isn’t what I was hoping it would be when I started, but it was pretty good anyway. I think the title is just a bit of a misrepresentation. I would have chosen to read this on more of a high than a low, personally; but your mileage may vary. This big focus seems to be to focus all your will to live on another person. It’s a memoir and if you’re not looking for encouragement or reasons to stay alive, you might enjoy this as just a memoir.
