Author Matt Haig, author of the acclaimed 'Reasons To Stay Alive' (the second bestselling non-fiction paperback of 2016), discusses its follow-up 'Notes On A Nervous Planet'.

While Reasons to Stay Alive was a memoir of Matt's experience of living with mental health, Notes on a Nervous Planet looks outwards at our experience of living in the world, on this fast, nervous planet we call home. In Notes on a Nervous Planet, Matt Haig explores how the world gets inside our heads and how we can rehumanise ourselves in this age of anxiety. In his big-hearted, freewheeling style Haig draws on his own experience, as well as the wisdom of others, to explore our relationship with sleep, health, supermarkets, smartphones, social media, addiction and generally the question of how to survive as plugged-in citizens of the world.
