内容简介

Reasons to Stay Alive is about making the most of your time on earth. In the western world the suicide rate is highest amongst men under the age of 35. Matt Haig could have added to that statistic when, aged 24, he found himself staring at a cliff-edge about to jump off. This is the story of why he didn't, how he recovered and learned to live with anxiety and depression. It's also an upbeat, joyous and very funny exploration of how live better, love better, read better and feel more.

    请靠女朋友走出抑郁的自救书退出自救界05-28
  • 宇宙佛系渣渣蓝
    很短很好读,作者很温柔。内容是像作者自己说的,有一点抑郁症介绍,有一点自我经历分享,有一点帮助指导,很难分类。虽说具体的经历上有差异,但作者给出的帮助建议与我多年的抗抑郁经验不谋而合,确实很良心了。纵观全书,作者一直在扮演那个温柔告诉你“我知道你很痛苦,说出来也没关系,我理解”,让你感受到爱、忍不住大哭的角色。读的时候确实也哭了好几次。此刻的想法是拍一部短片,集合“明亮的阳光”这种支持抑郁症患者们#活下去的理由#。一定很温暖。01-20

    对depression的心理状态描写很真实可信,哪怕没有经历过看着也很难受,有些部分甚至能找到同感,但并不觉得作者回答了书名的问题,对治愈的过程也没有详细的描述,作者还是太幸运,有个不离不弃照顾他那么多年的女友。对药物治疗的态度存疑。02-12

    因为语法单词比较简单为了学英语读的。典型畅销书没啥干货,很多篇拉单子玩花样糊弄事,不是说不可以,但那种东西写在自己博客里网上转发一下就可以了,没有必要出书。关于抑郁症讲得完全浮于表面,既没有深挖自己的经历,遗传的话患病也要有个trigger吧?讲的办法也都是些“晒太阳”之类的治标不治本的东西(但看书瑜伽还是有效果的)。刚读完《toxic parents》(《原生家庭》)如果因为家庭原因抑郁寻求帮助的非常推荐去看那本01-26

    这本书真的应该注明trigger alert。作者太多的经历感受甚至于文字比喻我都能在自己身上找到相似和对应。某种程度上读起来很痛苦。Part 1 - 4都有能找到自己影子的地方,到了Part 5变成了一些作者后来的思考,感觉是个很平和的人,真好。观点是认同的,不过需要时间。然而除去抑郁症这个标签之下自身的问题,还是靠自己去解决啊。真的很希望家属都可以看看,尽管未必能够理解。03-22
