Description

Bestselling author Matt Haig joins Gaby for a chat about books, reading, anxiety, shyness and overcoming severe depression.


Matt is a huge advocate for good mental health - and he and Gaby share stories of rockier times in their lives. They discuss his new novel - "The Life Impossible" - which saw him return to Ibiza to write it (the place he almost committed suicide). After many years he felt he could go back and has written a novel set there.


He also talks about the things that bring him joy, why he writes and how much it means when he gets reactions from his readers.


*Please be advised that some of the topics discussed in this episode may be triggering. These include severe depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.
