Notes on a Nervous Planet Review: Mandatory reading for everyone - While this collection of short essays and random yet compelling commentaries on our culture is marketed towards "those who suffer from anxiety and depression" - that's ALL of us to one degree or another. Such "ailments" are at epidemic levels in our culture (no, not our country, or our society - but by our entire western world CULTURE. Why? Because inherently we KNOW that we're on an unsustainable path, and that science and technology will NOT save us from ourselves. But Haig's common sense essays remind us that WE'RE not crazy - that the world IS crazy - and our reaction to that (anxiety) is NORMAL - but that doesn't mean we have to be sucked down into insanity with it. Just that very notion that WE are in charge of how we think about ourselves, and the world, provides the calming sanity in which one can recognize that anxiety happens when we reject what we inherently know to be true. Just because we live in a crazy culture doesn't mean we need to accept it - or medicate ourselves be it with anti depressants, anti-anxiety meds - or of course the numerous other drugs including alcohol we use to dull our senses enough to accept a crazy world. We can recognize that our culture is crazy and make the choice stand outside of it even as we are forced to live within it - and work to create a new culture that embraces simplicity and sustainability. We can minimize those things like cellphones constant intrusion into our lives - and recognize that we have NO idea what we're doing to a generation of kids being brought up to view the world through their cellphone cameras at best. Haig touches on SO many topics - and while his chapters might be 1 or 2 pages long in a book that can be read in a weekend, it SHOULD foster a lifetime of contemplation of recognizing that we're not quite as evolved as we think we are as a species - but that we ARE experiencing an awakening that can restore sanity and sustainability into an anxiety cultivating culture. Bravo Matt Haig & thank you! Review: Nice book - Somewhat repetitive but good book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #65,660 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #64 in Depression (Books) #623 in Happiness Self-Help #1,282 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (7,409) | | Dimensions | 6.9 x 4.9 x 0.8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 014313342X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0143133421 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | January 29, 2019 | | Publisher | Penguin Life | ## Images ![Notes on a Nervous Planet - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715mGBHOG7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mandatory reading for everyone *by J***K on April 16, 2019* While this collection of short essays and random yet compelling commentaries on our culture is marketed towards "those who suffer from anxiety and depression" - that's ALL of us to one degree or another.

Bravo Matt Haig & thank you! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice book *by D***E on January 1, 2026* Somewhat repetitive but good book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A clear direction through anxiety *by D***T on May 15, 2022* Matt Haig captures this reader's attention from page 1 to the finish. He reports his life experiences without self pity or self egrandisement and I can identify with his struggles (I've not had his experiences but like everyone else had big problems to resolve) his inner search and determination, and his inspiring recovery from adversity. This book entertains, informs, and encourages any reader who faces anxiety in this challenging world. It shows how to find a calm, confident approach to life. ## Frequently Bought Together - Notes on a Nervous Planet - Reasons to Stay Alive - The Comfort Book --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/70519796-notes-on-a-nervous-planet](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/70519796-notes-on-a-nervous-planet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
