I started reading this book in March. Finally finished it in June. Now this is what I do with non-fiction. They’re much more pick-up-put-down-at-leisure-able than fiction.

Matt Haig writes from a personal point of view, on how the modern world is essentially moving too fast for our primitive brains, and this disconnection is one of the things that’s impacting our collective mental health. It leaves a lot to think about. Especially with regard to just flicking between apps and webpages and WhatsApp. I only use one social media, and have one other social community that I use, but I can find myself flicking between the two waiting for replies. Instead I could and should use that time to do other things. So the first things I’ve done, is turn all notifications off, except WhatsApp. I put my phone on Do not Disturb while I’m reading. I figure the less I’m bombarded with notifications the, the sooner ill get used to not needing to pick up my phone 100 times a day.
