Notes on a Nervous Planet by Matt Haig
Call Number: 616.89 HAI

The societies we live in are increasingly making our minds ill, making it feel as though the way we live is engineered to make us unhappy.

Haig examines everything from broader phenomena like inequality, social media, and the news; to things closer to our daily lives, like how we sleep, how we exercise, and even the distinction we draw between our minds and our bodies.
