"Reasons to Stay Alive" was an interesting memoir. While I was slow to engage with the author and the author's life, by the end I felt an incredible affection and could understand why his wife was so loyal. I enjoyed his laid-back humour, self-deprecation, and his clear communication and honesty about what it is like for him to live with anxiety and depression. Also, I enjoyed his discussing the books he enjoyed. I think there is also potentially a lot of benefits this book offers to others who suffer from anxiety and depression. Stay with this book. Highly recommend! One of the best books I've ever read. An emotional rollercoaster with a philosophical plot. Haig captured the essence of living the only life we have, to truly live and be free with no regrets. No matter how things look, another perspective is all that is needed. A breath of fresh air. A MUST-READ!
