Title: Reasons to stay alive
Author: Matt Haig
Can be purchased here: Reasons to Stay Alive: Amazon.co.uk: Matt Haig: 0787721996125: Books
Synopsis: 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. A moving, funny and joyous exploration of how to live better, love better and feel more alive, Reasons to Stay Alive is more than a memoir. It is a book about making the most of your time on earth.
Why I'd recommend this: As someone who has my own problems with mental health, I can say hand-on-heart that this book gives an amazing, accurate insight into what it's like to battle such demons. Many other people have endorsed this book as well, such as Stephen Fry. Whether you're having difficulty yourself or would just like to better understand certain disorders, perhaps to help a friend or something, this book provides a detailed account of life with mental health issues and really shows the struggles of day-to-day living and the intensity of feelings that come with it. I'm not one to rant or preach a lot, but I'm very passionate about trying to remove the stigma surrounding mental health. If you have a spare bit of cash and are looking for a book, you'd be foolish not to purchase this.
If you have already read this book or do so on my recommendation, please leave your own review below! It took me less than 24 hours to get through due to how engaging it was and I hope others can find the same satisfaction.
