Notes On A Nervous Planet

Description

The book is structured in short, digestible chapters and lists—perfect for the “nervous” attention spans Haig describes. He explores how everything from social media and 24-hour news cycles to beauty standards and the “cult of busyness” contributes to a global rise in stress and depression. Drawing on his own experiences with panic disorder and anxiety, Haig doesn’t suggest we throw away our phones or move to a cave; instead, he offers practical, empathetic ways to “stay human” in a technological world. It’s a book about setting boundaries, reclaiming your time, and realizing that you are already “enough” without the endless consumption the planet demands.
