A manual of reflections for an
increasingly stressful world
Nothing is stronger than a small hope
that doesn’t give up.
The Comfort Book is a collection of little
islands of hope, a gathering of consolations and stories that give us 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, from Emily Dickinson to
James Baldwin.
This is the book to pick up
when you need the wisdom of a friend or the comfort of a hug, or just want to
celebrate the messy miracle of being alive.
