One of Entertainment Weekly's 25 most anticipated books of 2016—Matt Haig’s accessible and life-affirming memoir of his struggle with depression, and how his triumph over the illness taught him to live
Like nearly one in five people, Matt Haig suffers from depression. Reasons to Stay Alive is Matt’s inspiring account of how, minute by minute and day by day, he overcame the disease with the help of reading, writing, and the love of his parents and his girlfriend (and now-wife), Andrea. And eventually, he learned to appreciate life all the more for it.
Everyone’s lives are touched by mental illness: if we do not suffer from it ourselves, then we have a friend or loved one who does. Matt’s frankness about his experiences is both inspiring to those who feel daunted by depression and illuminating to those who are mystified by it. Above all, his humor and encouragement never let us lose sight of hope. Speaking as his present self to his former self in the depths of depression, Matt is adamant that the oldest cliché is the truest—there is light at the end of the tunnel. He teaches us to celebrate the small joys and moments of peace that life brings, and reminds us that there are always reasons to stay alive.

A celebration of life, books, words, and humanity.
By Stefani Sloma
Have you ever had a book that you were simultaneously unable to wait for and very scared of reading? That was Matt Haig’s Reasons to Stay Alive [Matt is the author of The Humans, which you should ALL know by now that I LOVE]. I’m sure you can tell from the title a little of what it’s about, and you may or may not have been able to guess why I was nervous to read it. I am depressed. I have depression. I am a depressive. Do you know how terrified I am to say that? Petrified. But I’m going to say it because it will make it that much more clear why I needed and appreciated this book. From the very moment I heard about it, I needed it.
I read this entire book in roughly 4.5 hours. I devoured it. I also cried more than I have probably EVER cried while reading a book. But I also smiled. Maybe not a lot, but it happened. The synopsis says “It’s also an upbeat, joyous and very funny exploration of how to live better, love better, read better and feel more.” I was pleased to find that to be very true. I felt a lot reading this book. I like that Matt mentioned that not everyone’s depression is the same, that you can be both happy and sad at the same time (“just as you can be a sober alcoholic”), and how most people will not be able to see it:
"To other people, it sometimes seems like nothing at all. You are walking around with your head on fire and no one can see the flames."
My heart pounded so HARD in my chest practically the entire time I was reading, just as it is beating hard just writing this all down.
Matt said at one point he hoped someone else would read his words and that maybe the pain he felt wasn’t for nothing. I know it wasn’t for nothing, but THANK YOU, Matt, for writing this book, for being brave and open and honest, for showing me I wasn’t alone no matter what the depression told me, for telling me that life will wait for me, for The Humans, for all of your words, for being alive.
Let’s get down to the bottom line, shall we? Read this book. Read this book because you have emotions and hopes and feelings. Read this book because you are human and because you are alive. Read this book to live. Reasons to Stay Alive is a celebration of life, books, words, and humanity.

Love this Book
By tarantula arms
Like most people who suffer from anxiety and depression, I read anything about the subject, hoping to find the magic key that will unlock my troubles. I realize, from reading books like this, that I could be much, much worse. I have not found the answer, yet, but reading about others who suffer like me helps me remember that I am not the only one; I am not "crazy" . And maybe, as Mr. Haig says, the reason is so I can help someone with the same problem. I have been battling this for nearly30 years. Maybe I should stop the battle and accept.

A COMFORTING AND HELPFUL READ
By Claire
I found this book to be comforting. It is a book I discovered while going through yet again a very dark time in my life. I have come to believe that there is no complete or final cure for my depression and anxiety. But this book has helped. I wrote down some of Matt Haig's passages in one of my journals...so that I can re-read them when my depression and/or anxiety starts to overwhelm me. It had been suggested to me over the years to try and accept my feelings of depression/anxiety in psychotherapy as Mr. Haig suggests in his book. Wise words I believe, even though exasperatingly difficult.
It is healing and soothing to know that many of us experience this illness, and that I am not alone. I believe it took a great deal of courage for Mr. Haig to share his story. It is too late to share this book with my brother as his illness overcame his desire to live...that he did not find even one reason to continue living. I am grateful that I found this book...thankful that reading it has eased some of my pain.
