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.
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).
这不是一本专业的心理学知识科普书籍,如果你希望从中获得科普知识的话,那可能满足不了你的需求,但不得不说,正是因为它不是专业的角度来讲述“抑郁症”,反而显得更加有可贵和好读。 谁都有过情绪难捱的时候,不管是抑郁症患者还是普通人群。 当身处这种难以言语的精神折磨...
评分 评分 评分看来国内外当代读者都一致喜欢类似推特段子堆叠一样拼凑起来的不成体系的杂谈书。另外读到通过女友“自救”的片段后此书的价值已经急速坍缩了:)要啥自行车啊(勉强填个励志标签吧)
评分温暖,治愈,零碎,充满善意和希望。
评分一本不拘于体裁,用多种形式将过去的痛苦收拾打点,并充满希望和关怀地体恤那些正在经历抑郁之人的作品。 有些地方逻辑不严谨,但贵在真诚。
评分因为语法单词比较简单为了学英语读的。典型畅销书没啥干货,很多篇拉单子玩花样糊弄事,不是说不可以,但那种东西写在自己博客里网上转发一下就可以了,没有必要出书。关于抑郁症讲得完全浮于表面,既没有深挖自己的经历,遗传的话患病也要有个trigger吧?讲的办法也都是些“晒太阳”之类的治标不治本的东西(但看书瑜伽还是有效果的)。刚读完《toxic parents》(《原生家庭》)如果因为家庭原因抑郁寻求帮助的非常推荐去看那本
评分一本温暖的小书很好看
