Couldn't put it down. Thank you for writing it, mind changing. Thank you to Andrea and the kids for sparing him the time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sense of how the author processes the mad world around him *by J***U on 17 March 2024* I'd read 3 of this author's novels and, of course, Reasons to Stay Alive so was curious about this book. First look and it seems to be some sort of self help book with an encouragement towards calm which is always a positive. I read the paperback which is slightly smaller than a standard paperback (I always love something that stands out from the crowd). At 306 pages this book is split into 18 chapters that are then broken down into small sections that average at about 2 pages each. The book is printed in a large font. It was first published in 2018 - the planet has only got madder since then so I was curious to see if it still felt relevant. His first book about mental health was very personal and limited to his own experiences - the purpose of this book is to widen that remit and give readers more engagement, both of which he achieves. The book is still about Matt Haig's journey through the world but he is now is a better place mentally so is able to be mor aware and reflect on his wider environment. There is a lot to think about as you are reading. Anyone picking up the book is already curious about the often overwhelming society in which we live and its effects and there is an irony that the book would probably be more useful for many of the people who will never read it as they are potentially ignoring problems. In the 6 years since publication we have been through a pandemic with huge impacts on mental health although, after long reflection, I'm not sure that general social pressures have changed as much over this period as I had previously thought. This book is still very relevant. Matt Haig has a chaotic way of writing which prevents the book being a self help manual so it becomes a flow of his thoughts and ideas. It's give any reader a sense of what helps Matt Haig to get through each day and it will entertain you at the same time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/65159510-notes-on-a-nervous-planet-matt-haig](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/65159510-notes-on-a-nervous-planet-matt-haig) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
