Matt Haig: A Nervous Planet

Technology today connects us more than ever before, but this modern world may be messing with our minds and doing damage to our mental health. We constantly check emails and messages, and we’re pressured to present the best version of ourselves, while tallying our likes and comparing to the accounts of others. According to Matt Haig, it’s no surprise that the rates of stress and anxiety are rising dramatically and that even though we are more connected, many are feeling more alone. Matt discusses how we can stay human and sane in an increasingly technological and anxiety-inducing world. Matt is the author of Notes on A Nervous Planet.
