Matt Haig was born in Sheffield, England in1975. He writes books for both adults and children, often blending the worlds of domestic reality and outright fantasy, with a quirky twist. His bestselling novels are translated into 28 languages. The Guardian has described his writing as 'delightfully weird' and the New York Times has called him 'a novelist of great talent' whose writing is 'funny, riveting and heartbreaking'.
His novels for adults are The Last Family in England, narrated by a labrador and optioned for film by Brad Pitt; The Dead Fathers Club (2006), an update of Hamlet featuring an 11-year-old boy; The Possession of Mr Cave (2008), about a man obsessed with his daughter's safety, and The Radleys (2010) which won Channel 4's TV Book Club public vote and was shortlisted for a Galaxy National Book Award (UK). The film rights to all his adult novels have been sold. His next adult novel is The Humans (2013).
His multi-award winning popular first novel for children, Shadow Forest, was published in 2007 and its sequel, The Runaway Troll, in 2009. His most recent children's novel is To Be A Cat (2012).
Reasons to Stay Alive is about making the most of your time on earth. 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, how he recovered and learned to live with anxiety and depression. It's also an upbeat, joyous and very funny exploration of how live better, love better, read better and feel more.

2017年2月23日,世界衛生組織(WHO)官方網站發布文章,稱全球抑鬱癥患者已達3.22億人,2005年至2015年間患者數量增加瞭18.4%。基於WHO發布的數據,全球範圍內約有4.3%的人罹患抑鬱癥,發病風險最高的三個群體為年輕人群、孕婦/産後婦女及老年人。中國抑鬱障礙患病率為4.2%,焦...
評分已經忘記是從哪裏知道這本書的瞭,但是知道後立馬就找來看瞭。 不是因為自己是抑鬱癥患者而企圖從他人的經曆找到齣口,隻是有時候覺得不快樂,或者更準確的說,長時間對任何事都提不起興趣。 這本書給瞭一個很好的近距離視角來窺探抑鬱癥這個現代大多數人...
圖書標籤: 抑鬱癥 心理 英國 英文原版 人生 思考 外國文學 非虛構
很短很好讀,作者很溫柔。內容是像作者自己說的,有一點抑鬱癥介紹,有一點自我經曆分享,有一點幫助指導,很難分類。雖說具體的經曆上有差異,但作者給齣的幫助建議與我多年的抗抑鬱經驗不謀而閤,確實很良心瞭。縱觀全書,作者一直在扮演那個溫柔告訴你“我知道你很痛苦,說齣來也沒關係,我理解”,讓你感受到愛、忍不住大哭的角色。讀的時候確實也哭瞭好幾次。此刻的想法是拍一部短片,集閤“明亮的陽光”這種支持抑鬱癥患者們#活下去的理由#。一定很溫暖。
評分因為語法單詞比較簡單為瞭學英語讀的。典型暢銷書沒啥乾貨,很多篇拉單子玩花樣糊弄事,不是說不可以,但那種東西寫在自己博客裏網上轉發一下就可以瞭,沒有必要齣書。關於抑鬱癥講得完全浮於錶麵,既沒有深挖自己的經曆,遺傳的話患病也要有個trigger吧?講的辦法也都是些“曬太陽”之類的治標不治本的東西(但看書瑜伽還是有效果的)。剛讀完《toxic parents》(《原生傢庭》)如果因為傢庭原因抑鬱尋求幫助的非常推薦去看那本
評分一本溫暖的小書很好看
評分這本書真的應該注明trigger alert。作者太多的經曆感受甚至於文字比喻我都能在自己身上找到相似和對應。某種程度上讀起來很痛苦。Part 1 - 4都有能找到自己影子的地方,到瞭Part 5變成瞭一些作者後來的思考,感覺是個很平和的人,真好。觀點是認同的,不過需要時間。然而除去抑鬱癥這個標簽之下自身的問題,還是靠自己去解決啊。 真的很希望傢屬都可以看看,盡管未必能夠理解。
評分“Your mind is a galaxy. More dark than light. But the light makes it worthwhile. Which is to say, don't kill yourself. Even when the darkness is total. Always know that life is not still. Time is space. You are moving through that galaxy. Wait for the stars. You will one day experience joy that matches this pain. “
