Publisher Description
An instant New York Times Bestseller!
The new uplifting book from Matt Haig, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library, for anyone in search of hope, looking for a path to a more meaningful life, or in need of a little encouragement.
Named by The Washington Post as one of the best feel-good books of the year
“It is a strange paradox, that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learnt while we are at our lowest. But then we never think about food more than when we are hungry and we never think about life rafts more than when we are thrown overboard.”
Don’t miss Matt Haig’s new novel The Life Impossible, coming September 2024
THE COMFORT BOOK is Haig’s life raft: it’s a collection of notes, lists, and stories written over a span of several years that originally served as gentle reminders to Haig’s future self that things are not always as dark as they may seem. Incorporating a diverse array of sources from across the world, history, science, and his own experiences, Haig offers warmth and reassurance, reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of existence.
Customer Reviews
Wow!
A thoughtful, thought provoking book! Loved how he interweaves his own mental health history with philosophy and religion.
Great before bed “comfort” read
Great book, easy to read before bed and so adequate in building people up from a place of authenticity. Loved it! I would categorize it in the “self help” genre.
