“Matt talks about his struggles with depression and anxiety in detail. If, after having gone through all of the difficulties, Matt is where he is now, perhaps we should get inspired and be very resilient, no matter how hard life gets.
I’ve highlighted many sections of the book and I will revisit them regularly.”
“Such a great read, especially if you’ve experienced anxiety and depression. It was a reminder for that time for me but also my triumph over it. I was reminded to continue to think of my own reasons to live every day, even in the good times.”
