About this listen

Reflections on hope, survival and the messy miracle of being alive.

It is a strange paradox that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learned 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.

The Comfort Book is a collection of consolations learned in hard times and suggestions for making the bad days better. Drawing on maxims, memoir and the inspirational lives of others, these meditations celebrate the ever-changing wonder of living. This is for when we need the wisdom of a friend or a reminder we can always nurture inner strength and hope, even in our busy world.

A book of timeless comfort for modern minds.

What makes us most human, I think, is our power of choice, even in dark, terribly painful moments. In The Comfort Book, Matt Haigh helps us to consciously navigate the choices that surround us at every moment, and thereby veer away from negative or self deprecating thoughts, moving towards self love, hope and self acceptance. Matt communicates this with immense sincerity.
This book teaches me that, even when I feel crushed by the weight of fear and circumstance "I am enough" - enough to push open the doors to possibility and enter the transformation of my life. And I believe him!
