Notes on a Nervous Planet by Matt Haig : Chapter-wise summary and 30+ ways to take back control
Notes on a nervous planet is a book that brings a lot of important points about the collective overwhelm that we as a “modern” society face. Social media, lack of sleep, odd working hours, loneliness. Neither of these were aspects that we were really prepared to deal with. But before treating a disease, we must know what the symptoms are and why they showed up in the first place. (At the end of the article, there is a long is list of what you can do to avoid overwhelm.)
This is a summary and my thoughts (chapter wise, mostly) on the book. I try to cover what stuck out to me the most and in turn, hope that it helps someone out. If you like the summary, you will like the book more.
