Reasons to Stay Alive is a deeply honest and life-affirming memoir in which Matt Haig recounts his struggle with depression and anxiety, and the path back from despair. Drawing on the mental health crisis he experienced at 24, Haig writes with warmth, wit, and remarkable compassion about survival, love, and the quiet moments that make life worth holding onto.

Both intimate and uplifting, the book offers comfort to those who are struggling and insight to anyone seeking to better understand what it means to endure, heal, and keep going.
