But, reading this made me realise that actually I need to just be me and not be anything else in order to be just be liked! I am also going to remember this quote every time a student says they receive comments because they love reading, or are a librarian, or come to book club. I suffer with minor anxiety and I always want to do the right thing, do it well to please others, be liked and most of all fit in. This quote will stay with me for a long time.
“Realisation – I used to worry about fitting in until I realised the reason I didn’t want to fit in was because I didn’t want to”. My favourite quote from this amazing book is: The Comfort Book will help to uplift you and think about things from a different perspective. Reflections on hope and survival this collection of stories, quotes, lists and aphorisms has something for everyone to help the reader reflect on difficult times when needed. The fact he writes from the heart and from experience, he is so open about his mental health battles, he is an inspiration to others who battle mental health. Matt Haig is such a wonderful author and a one of the most important writers of today. I couldn’t wait for this book to be published as Matt kept posting teasers on social media and every quote I saw was just so relatable in some way.
I could leave my review there to be honest as it is one of the best books I have read since The Midnight Library. This is for when we need the wisdom of a friend or a reminder we can always nurture inner strength and hope even in our busy world.Ī book of timeless comfort for modern minds. Drawing on maxims, memoir and the inspiration lives of others, these meditations celebrate the ever-changing wonder of living. The Comfort Book is a collection of consolations learned in hard times and suggestions for making the bad days better. But when we never think about food more than when we are hungry and we never think about life rafts more than when we are thrown overboard. ‘It is a strange paradox, that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learned while we are at our lowest. Reflections on hope, survival and the messy miracle of being alive. Nothing is stronger than a small hope that doesn’t give up.
