Book Description

Il mondo sta incasinando le nostre menti. I tassi di stress e ansia sono in aumento. Un pianeta veloce e nervoso sta creando vite veloci e nervose. Siamo più connessi, ma ci sentiamo più soli. E siamo incoraggiati a preoccuparci di tutto, dalla politica mondiale al nostro indice di massa corporea. Come possiamo rimanere sani di mente su un pianeta che ci fa impazzire? Come si resta umani in un mondo tecnologico? Come ci sentiamo felici quando siamo incoraggiati ad essere ansiosi?
Le società in cui viviamo stanno sempre più ammalando le nostre menti, facendoci sentire come se il modo in cui viviamo fosse progettato per renderci infelici. Quando Matt Haig ha sviluppato disturbi di panico, ansia e depressione da adulto, gli ci è voluto molto tempo per capire in che modo il mondo esterno potesse influenzare la sua salute mentale in modi sia positivi che negativi. Notes on a Nervous Planet raccoglie le sue osservazioni, dando uno sguardo a come i vari "progressi" sociali, commerciali e tecnologici che hanno creato il mondo in cui oggi viviamo possono effettivamente ostacolare la nostra felicità. Haig esamina tutto, dai fenomeni più ampi come la disuguaglianza, i social media e le notizie; a cose più vicine alla nostra vita quotidiana, come il modo in cui dormiamo, come ci esercitiamo e persino la distinzione che tracciamo tra la nostra mente e il nostro corpo.

Dopo anni di ansia e attacchi di panico, queste domande sono diventate questioni urgenti di vita o di morte per Matt Haig. E iniziò a cercare il legame tra ciò che sentiva e il mondo che lo circondava. Notes on a Nervous Planet è uno sguardo personale e vitale su come sentirsi felici, umani e integri nel 21° secolo.

Author portrait of Matt Haig

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.
