As explained on the inside cover, “This is the book to pick up when you need the wisdom of a friend, the comfort of a hug or a reminder that hope comes from unexpected places”.Īs we head into what is sure to be the third year of the pandemic (cringe), I know I will be picking up this book more than a few times, if only to be reminded that, “Nothing is stronger than a small hope that doesn’t give up”.
It will tap into the humanity deep inside while offering hope at the same time. The beauty of this book, in addition to the life lessons and A-HA moments, is its simplicity.

It’s okay to be who you are”, to the mindfulness of “Pizza” which states, “The sky isn’t more beautiful if you have perfect skin. It’s okay to wear the scars of experience. There is the reassurance of, “It’s Okay”, in which Haig writes, “It’s okay to be broken. Incorporating a diverse array of sources from across the world, history, science, and his own experiences, Haig writes “this book is as messy as life” and reminds us to slow down and appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of existence. In The Comfort Book, which I discovered while doing a deep dive into his works after I read The New York Times bestselling worldwide phenomenon The Midnight Library, Haig shares a collection of notes, lists, and stories that serve as a gentle reminder that things are not always as dark as they may seem. The English novelist and journalist has been refreshingly and unflinchingly candid about his struggles with anxiety and depression, which saw him at the age of 24 years old almost walking off a cliff in Ibiza. Especially if books bring you comfort like they do me. With Blue Monday – otherwise touted as the gloomiest day of the year – quickly approaching, I highly recommend picking up a copy of Matt Haig’s The Comfort Book. Despite the adage about them never hurting you, words can also make all the difference whether they are the ones you read, the ones you share, or the ones that play in a loop in your head. They can inspire, divide, and offer hope.
