Read it. Just do it. Whatever you think about social media, internet, cellphones or society, yourself included in all this crazyness ~ read this book. Get in touch with Matt Haigs style. His way toput Thoughts intowords. Very good research, combined with personal experience. Page after page, Chapter to chapter you'll come to conclusions. Some you already might have suggested. Or might have wondered, why on earth you sometimes feel how you feel. Like maybe too much of others peoples stuff, emotions. Or too less, compared to others? Or felt whatever, wasn't not yours, ten minutes ago. Before browsing the handy. AND on top: learn how to deal with it. This is not another of those self-help-books. It's a lovely piece of wirters art, to put to paper, whats going on. And by the way, its very amusing. Some very funny chapters. Written with the typical eye-twinkle of a self critical one. Added my todays favorite chapter ...

What a book, what a book!! I had enjoyed another book by this author and had loved his narrative. This book was even more captivating as he speaks about his own experience. This book really helped me understand more about myself and also taught me that I'm not at fault for what I'm feeling, it's the world and his tidbits on how to deal with it are pretty practical and do-able. Must read for anybody through mental health issues or even just feeling a little low - if nothing it will show how u are not alone :)

Delivery arrived promptly, and it’s been a great good. Very happy with this purchase and will be reading it again

To be honest I didn't read the book. I bought it but returned it right away. The book seemed like a collection of short blog posts which I didn't like. Of course, it is original copy since the seller is Amazon.
