  • Bestselling novelist Matt Haig asked his readers on Twitter and Facebook to film themselves reading their favourite line from a chapter in his new novel, The Humans. He received entries from readers in places including the UK, the US, Canada, Spain, Italy and Thailand. Each reading is a different piece of advice for members of the human species, specifically a troubled teenage boy called Gulliver Martin...

    I just realized that I knew all of these by heart.

    I love this book. I love it.

    I’m the boy at the end saying laugh it suits you oddly enough I don’t remember much of that but it’s great to see me that young would’ve been years ago but I remember getting a free copy of the truth pixie when it came out a few years ago

    The background music is so annoying, but I can't shut it off or I miss the speakers. Clever idea, inviting readers to post their favorite lines. My favorite: TV news should begin with mathematics, then poetry.

      rates of stress and anxiety are rising. A fast, nervous planet is creating fast and nervous lives. We are more connected, yet feel more alone. And we are encouraged to worry about everything from world politics to our body mass index.
      How can we stay sane on a planet that makes us mad?
      How do we stay human in a technological world?
      How do we feel happy when we are encouraged to be anxious?
      After experiencing years of anxiety and panic attacks, these questions became urgent matters of life and death for Matt Haig. And he began to look for the link between what he felt and the world around him.
      Notes on a Nervous Planet is a personal and vital look at how to feel happy, human and whole in the 21st century.
