Matt Haig is refreshingly candid about his struggles coping in a modern, connected, fake-news-filled world. Sharing his discoveries and skills of how he navigates the currents of a nasty time in our “civil” society is a gift to anybody who takes the time to read his book.
One of my favourite thoughts come from the chapter Shock of the News, in an essay called, Shocks to the System he says;
"Change doesn't just happen by focusing on the place you want to escape. It happens by focusing on where you want to reach. Boost the good guys, don't just knock the bad guys. Find the hope that is already here and help it grow."
I loved this book. It was a positive experience and read like a paper-bound twitter account, only better and more thoughtful. I could pick it up and read a passage or two or make a cup of tea and settle back and enjoy the warmth of a positive human being finding his way in this world.
Highly recommended.
