illness. In the western world the suicide rate is highest amongst men under the age of 35.
Matt
Haig
could have added to that statistic when, aged 24, he found himself staring at a cliff-edge about to jump off. This is the story of why he didn't, and how he recovered and learned to live with anxiety and depression. It's also an optimistic, joyous and often funny exploration of how to live better, love better, read better and feel more. A wonderful mix of memoir and hard-won wisdom, Reasons to Stay Alive is, at heart, about making the most of your time on earth.
Matt
Haig
suffered a breakdown in his early twenties. After battling depression for a long time he turned to writing, and he believes that reading and writing books saved his life. His novels, often dark and quirky takes on family life, include The Last Family in England, The Radleys and The Humans.
