Summary of Matt Haig's Notes on a Nervous Planet

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was stressed out. I was walking around in circles, trying to win an argument on the internet. And Andrea was looking at me. Or I think Andrea was looking at me. It was hard to tell, as I was looking at my phone.

#2 I was scared. I couldn’t not be. Being scared is what anxiety is all about. I tried to distract myself out of it, but I knew from past experience that alcohol was off limits. I began to feel worse.

#3 The modern world can have physical effects on us, and as I grew better, I began to have an idea about a book. I had already written about my mental health in Reasons to Stay Alive, but now I was wondering how we can live in a mad world without ourselves going mad.

#4 The media is designed to make us anxious. It reports on anxiety while also making us anxious.
