It creates a solid and positive basis for building self-love which can help readers avoid faulty thinking or going down a spiral of negativity. Part memoir, with a little bit of philosophy for beginners, for me it is a book of substance. Matt Haig’s The Comfort Book is written in a completely non-judgmental tone. It also reminds us repeatedly that the simple fact of our existence is a reason for hope and joy, that we don’t need to try to be anything other than what we are, or meet anyone else’s expectations. Everything is connected to everything else – hope to despair, pain to joy and so on. It is quite random in structure, but the theme that runs through The Comfort Book is one of connection. It has both short and long chapters, lists, quotes, case studies and even the occasional recipes. Matt Haig begins The Comfort Book by telling the readers that the structure of his writing makes it a messy read. Matt Haig’s The Comfort Book is the perfect read for anyone who has found themselves at a low ebb and needs a message of hope that things can and will get better.
