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).
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.
读海特·马洛的书之前,看到有人的评论说,这书能救几条命。心想,是不是有点夸张。生病的人不知所措的时候,什么药都会试一试。在火车上读了一半,被大雪困在半路上,回到家,读完了另外一半。 一本不成体系没有文法的书,看起来像是购物清单,脑袋里的窃窃私语,甚至不像是一...

评分治愈之书,生活之书。
评分读这本书时,是我撞到现实感的两天后,我知道这次自己会好很久。开篇病中的描述不敢细读,麻木掉一些细致情感粗略读过,很意外的是读者列出的那些起到作用的作者和书籍,跟我有很大部分的重复。那些他用来描述Graham Greene 的句子,天呐,我想要紧紧握住他的手,好让我的激动能流到他手心,就此解救我要用语言再描述的困境。
评分请靠女朋友走出抑郁的自救书退出自救界
评分其实还好啦,就关键是需要知道自己并不独特。产生共情。让人觉得,咦作者都能好转,那我也能。另外,作者那时候的女友,之后的妻子,简直是抑郁病患的模范伴侣好吧。而且其实确实挺适合亲友看的……
评分“Your mind is a galaxy. More dark than light. But the light makes it worthwhile. Which is to say, don't kill yourself. Even when the darkness is total. Always know that life is not still. Time is space. You are moving through that galaxy. Wait for the stars. You will one day experience joy that matches this pain. “
