<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>An essential book from Matt Haig, the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Midnight Library</i>, for anyone in search of hope, looking for a path to a more meaningful life, or in need of a little encouragement. <p/></b>"It is a strange paradox, that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learnt while we are at our lowest. But then 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."</b> <p/> <b>THE COMFORT BOOK</b> is Haig's life raft: it's a collection of notes, lists, and stories written over a span of several years that originally served as gentle reminders to Haig's future self that things are not always as dark as they may seem. Incorporating a diverse array of sources from across the world, history, science, and his own experiences, Haig offers warmth and reassurance, reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of existence.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The bestselling author of <i>Notes on a Nervous Planet</i> and <i>The Midnight Library</i> offers earnest reflections in this thought-provoking, affirming collection that is both personal and universal...With Haig's trademark empathy and celebration of the resilience of the human heart, this is a book we all need and deserve. <b>-- <i>Booklist</i><br> <p/>Praise for Matt Haig: </b><br><b> </b><br>"A keen-eyed observer of contemporary life." ―<i>New York Times</i><br><b> </b><br>"I can't describe how much his work means to me . . .
