The Comfort Book

The Comfort Book

by Matt Haig (Author)

An instant New York Times Bestseller!The new uplifting book from Matt Haig, the New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library, for anyone in search of hope, looking for a path to a more meaningful life, or in need of a little encouragement.“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.” THE COMFORT BOOK 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.

The Book: A Novel

By Matt Haig

In a world where everyone's life is predetermined by a book that tells their story from beginning to end, one man sets out on a quest to change his own destiny.

Henry Chance is a middle-aged office worker whose life is governed by the Book of His Life. The book tells him everything he will do, think and feel every day of his existence. Henry is content with his life, but when he meets a mysterious woman named Anya, he starts to question the predetermined nature of his existence.

Anya tells Henry that he is not alone and that there are others who are also dissatisfied with their lives. She convinces him to join her on a journey to find the Author of the Book of Life and change their destinies.

The journey takes Henry and Anya through a variety of strange and wonderful worlds. They meet talking animals, giant creatures and even the Grim Reaper. As they travel, Henry learns more about himself and the world around him. He also begins to realize that the true meaning of life is not found in the pages of a book, but in the choices we make each day.

The Book is a thought-provoking novel that explores the themes of free will, destiny and the meaning of life. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
