Reasons to Stay Alive

At 24, Matt Haig’s world caved in. He could see no way to go on living. This is the true story of how he overcame crisis, learned to live again, and discovered the joy of being alive.

Part memoir, part guide, Reasons to Stay Alive is a moving, funny, and deeply honest exploration of depression and anxiety. Haig shares what he learned about the condition, how to survive it, and—most importantly—how to thrive afterward.

It’s about making the most of your time on Earth, finding hope in the darkest places, and reminding yourself that life is worth living.

📌 PLEASE NOTE: This is a pre‑loved book.

Which means:  it’s been around the block, seen some things, maybe cried in a few backpacks, and definitely judged its previous owner’s taste. Lower your expectations —this is not a shiny, fresh‑off‑the‑press Instagram prop. It’s a survivor.

•  It may have creases — battle scars from readers who couldn’t put it down.
•  It may have notes in the margins — unsolicited commentary from strangers who thought they were philosophers.
•   It may have coffee stains — proof that someone once tried to be aesthetic and failed.
• It may smell faintly of nostalgia — or just dust, we don’t control that part.
• It may have bent corners — because someone before you didn’t believe in bookmarks.
• It may look tired — same, honestly.

So yes, lower your expectations. But raise your appreciation. Because a pre‑loved book is proof that stories don’t need to be shiny to be worth it.
