Let’s just start off with the compulsory statement: I would read absolutely anything written by Matt Haig. I’ll link my reviews of his other books at the end of this post.

Notes is a follow-on book to Reasons to Stay Alive, and focuses on her the world is effecting your mental health. It’s in quite small chapters so it’s really easy to get along with and read in short bursts rather than being a book you need a large amount of free time to read.

I really loved Haig’s commentary on the roles of social media towards your mental health. He points out how social media can both help and hinder people’s mental health, and how social media is full of the best parts of people, not every part.

The thing I love about his writing is that he’s straight-talking. He says it as it is throughout the book, and definitely puts a strong point forward about exactly what can make a large difference to your mental health.

I’m happy that in Notes, Haig points out that there is no difference between mental and physical health in their effects, making a brilliant argument on why mental health should be taken more seriously by everyone.

When this book came in the post I told myself I was going to savour it, because I was so excited to get a new book by Matt Haig that I didn’t want to rush it. So in the end I read it in two days instead of one!

Notes on a Nervous Planet is definitely necessary reading for everyone, whether you have mental health struggles or not. It gives many ways to stop letting the world into your head and not wasting your energy worrying. It’s made me glad I read it.

Plant Nanny.
Plant Nanny is highly recommended ✔

Plant Nanny is an innovative app that contributes towards incentivising water consumption, sequentially promoting good health. As inferred by Healthline, sufficient water consumption can contribute towards enhancing energy levels and brain function, or preventing and treating headaches, indicative of the prospective health benefits associated with sufficient water consumption.

To elaborate on my prior inference, Plant Nanny is also an exceptional app attributable to its user interface, which is user-friendly to a considerable extent. This contributes further towards incentivising the continuous use of this app.

However, to deliberate the negative aspects of Plant Nanny, which are minimal, it takes an approximate 5 days to level up your plant, which grows at each level, until level 5, from which the plant is then placed in a garden and a new plant can be selected and henceforth.

To conclude, Plant Nanny, an innovative app, is highly recommended to a considerable extent attributable to its ability to incentivise water consumption which is often overlooked, sequentially contributing towards promoting good health.

Condescending nature of librarian character
Contrived lecturing
Nice concept but dull
I listened to this on audiobook and though I would enjoy the narration by Carey Mulligan. However, I found the writing so repetitive and the character of the librarian so condescending and lecturing that it ended up being a DNF for me. Shame as I liked the premise and it's exploration of mental health. I also liked Haig's previous books which were quirky and well-written but this one just didn't meet the mark for me.
