The Comfort Book

We all regret something. We blame ourselves for real and imagined mistakes, lose confidence, and again and again ask: “Why am I like this?” “A Comforting Book” is very much like gentle therapy. It helps restore hope and a taste for life, giving a sense of stability, support, and consolation. Drawing on real stories, facts from history, science, and the arts—while complementing them with his own experience—Haig creates a lifebuoy of a book: a collection of notes and short stories. Each one reveals a different perspective, reminding us of the importance of sometimes slowing down and seeing the beauty of this ever-changing world. Matt Haig is one of the most prominent British authors, the creator of international bestsellers “The Midnight Library,” “The Humans Are Dead,” and others.
