The comfort book
(Large Print)
Description
Nothing is stronger than a small hope that doesn't give up. The Comfort Book is a collection of little islands of hope. It gathers consolations and stories that give new ways of seeing ourselves and the world. Matt Haig's mix of philosophy, memoir and self-reflection builds on the wisdom of philosophers and survivors through the ages, from Marcus Aurelius to Nellie Bly, Emily Dickinson to James Baldwin. This is the book to pick up when you need the wisdom of a friend, the comfort of a hug or a reminder that hope comes from unexpected places.
Years ago Haig began writing notes to his future self. The notes were meant as gifts to his future self: offerings of hope to help himself through anything from the darkest periods of his life to a not-so-great day. Now he shares these notes so that everyone could draw on this well of reassurance and encouragement. Each short meditation gives a new perspective on life and all of its highs and lows, offering warmth and reassurance and reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of existence. -- adapted from reviews on Goodreads
