' The Comfort Book , a collection of aphorisms and inspirational stories of survival against the odds, is a guide to living and finding hope in these disjointed times' -- Guardian "The bestselling author of Notes on a Nervous Planet and The Midnight Library offers earnest reflections in this thought-provoking, affirming collection that is both personal and universal...With Haig's trademark empathy and celebration of the resilience of the human heart, this is a book we all need and deserve." -- Booklist "The Comfort Book... is brilliant, full of nuggets of profundity to consume when you're feeling low. And he has a way of discussing mental health that rises above the general confessional noise." -- The Independent (Dublin) "Profound, witty and uplifting, and a stirring testament to hope and the imagination" Observer (London) "The literary equivalent of a steaming hot chocolate on a chilly day . . .

Synopsis
An instant New York Times Bestseller! The new uplifting book from Matt Haig, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library , for anyone in search of hope, looking for a path to a more meaningful life, or in need of a little encouragement. Named by The Washington Post as one of the best feel-good books of the year "It is a strange paradox, that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learnt while we are at our lowest. But then we never think about food more than when we are hungry and we never think about life rafts more than when we are thrown overboard." Don't miss Matt Haig's new novel The Life Impossible , coming September 2024 THE COMFORT BOOK is Haig's life raft: it's a collection of notes, lists, and stories written over a span of several years that originally served as gentle reminders to Haig's future self that things are not always as dark as they may seem. Incorporating a diverse array of sources from across the world, history, science, and his own experiences, Haig offers warmth and reassurance, reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of existence.
