Book Description
Como podemos nos sentir menos ansiosos e deprimidos em um mundo cada vez mais dominado pelas redes sociais?
Após anos convivendo com a depressão e as crises de pânico, Matt Haig percebeu que determinadas interações nas redes sociais agiam como gatilhos para a sua ansiedade. Em uma tentativa de buscar uma saúde mental mais equilibrada no mundo altamente conectado em que vivemos, Haig começou a pesquisar a relação entre a quantidade de informações, imagens e interação virtual ao nosso dispor e nossa sensação crescente de cansaço, solidão e depressão.
Se somos bombardeados de imagens felizes e temos acesso a todo tipo de informação o tempo todo, por que nos sentimos cada vez mais perdidos e solitários? Por que vemos a incidência de quadros como depressão, ansiedade e síndrome do pânico aumentar? Para o autor, essas perguntas só podem ser respondidas fazendo uma análise da nossa sociedade, hoje dominada pela tecnologia e pela lógica do consumo. Uma de suas conclusões é que o modo como vivemos está projetado para nos fazer perder o controle.
A partir desse prognóstico, Haig traz propostas para manter a sanidade em um planeta que nos deixa desequilibrados e para buscar a felicidade mesmo com a ansiedade sendo encorajada. Observações sobre um planeta nervoso é um olhar pessoal e fundamental sobre como se sentir feliz, humano e pleno no século XXI.
Matt Haig
Matt Haig is an English author and journalist, he was born on 3 July 1975 in Sheffield. He has written both fiction and non-fiction books for children and adults, often in the speculative fiction genre. His work of non-fiction, Reasons to Stay Alive, was a number one Sunday Times bestseller and was in the UK top 10 for 46 weeks.
His novels are often dark and quirky takes on family life. The Last Family in England retells Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1 with the protagonists as dogs. His second novel Dead Fathers Club is based on Hamlet, telling the story of an introspective 11-year-old dealing with the recent death of his father and the subsequent appearance of his father's ghost. His third adult novel, The Possession of Mr Cave, deals with an obsessive father desperately trying to keep his teenage daughter safe. His children's novel, Shadow Forest, is a fantasy that begins with the horrific death of the protagonists' parents. It won the Nestlé Children's Book Prize in 2007.
He also published several novels, the most famous of which are:
_Haig's vampire
_The Humans
_How to Stop Time
_The Midnight Library
As of 2015, Haig was married to Andrea Semple, and they lived in Brighton, Sussex, with their two children and a dog. Haig identifies as an atheist. He has said that books are his one true faith, and the library is his church.
Some of Haig's work—especially part of the non-fiction books—is inspired by the mental breakdown he suffered from when he was 24 years old. He still occasionally suffers from anxiety.
