A Good Read: Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig

August 18, 2016


The past month, I felt I needed something to remind me that somehow things will turn out fine eventually. And I found that in a book – Reasons to Stay Alive.


I first knew about this book after watching Will Darbyshire’s youtube video, where he recommended the said book with the same title.

It kind of rang to me that I needed to get copy, then fast forward to August 18th – where I was just going everywhere to search for an available copy of Will’s "This Modern Love" - which unfortunately was sold out almost everywhere. And I was left with a list where Reasons to Stay Alive was number one.

Thankfully, the store has its last copy and well... here I am writing about it.

I was only on page one, and I kid you not. Tears were rolling down my face. Never have I ever found a book that depicts most of what I have been feeling, what I have been thinking, and what I have been going through.

The book is a collection of thoughts, reminders and episodes that help the author – Matt Haig realizes there will always be a reason to stay alive.

And so, if you find yourself facing the black dog, or you just want to read something life-saving, heartwarming and funny, this book is for you.
