A
Matt Haig, the best-selling author of the novel “The Midnight”, recommends some
books that offer wisdom or comfort in difficult times.
Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Rilke (1929). This is the ultimate comfort read. The
book is what the title suggests: letters from an older poet to a younger one. The great thing
about Rilke’s advice is that it acknowledges the darkness and suffering of existence, yet
manages despite that—or maybe even because of that—to inspire.
When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön(1996). I read this book during the first
lockdown, and it was the perfect read for uncertain times. Chödrön is a Buddhist, but the
advice and philosophy in these relatively few pages speaks universally. It’s a great book
about embracing life in its totality, about seeing hope and suffering as part of a whole.
The House at Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne(1928). The Winnie-the-Pooh stories really
speak to people going through tough times. In many ways, each of the characters reflects a
different mental state: Eeyore is depressed, Tigger is hyper-active, Piglet is anxious, and
Pooh reflects a hope and optimism much needed in recovery. I reread this book when I was
ill with a panic disorder, and it comforted me.
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott (1994). In my opinion, this is the greatest book about
writing ever written. But like Rilke, Lamott is offering far more than writing advice. She is
offering wisdom on life and how to embrace its imperfect nature.
