焦虑星球笔记 – Notes on a Nervous Planet by Matt Haig

超载的星球，住满了迷失的心灵

生活看似选择无限，但拥有再多，心灵却依然脆弱

一切都来不及、不够多、不够好。我们困在焦虑里

世界失速，我们活着，该如何不跟着疯狂？

关于时间不够

我们被时钟奴役，被发光的智能型手机宰制。不再是时间辅助我们，而是我们为时间发愁。明明电子邮件比寄信快，想买什么一键就可下单，显然问题不是时间不够，而是我们被刺激去做的事情超载了。

关于惶惶不安

感觉自己很丑，不代表你真的丑；感觉焦虑，不代表你一定要焦虑；感觉少了什么，不代表你不完整。问题出在你的感受。不在你的外表。别再透过不安的镜片看着自己。

关于孤单

按赞评价取代了真实互动。算法把我们关进小小的数位同温层，但我们可以选择不与别人的在线精采人生比较、可以当个算法无法预测的异数、可以让不断跳出的通知与讯息等一下。走出门，与真实世界的朋友喝一杯。

关于焦虑

接受自己正处于接受不了的状态。接受不自在的感觉，接受我没有主导权。接受自己。

接受痛苦的时刻，才能释放痛苦，让痛苦缓缓的回到他原本的世界。你不接受此时此刻，就到不了你想去的地方。

A follow-up to Matt Haig’s internationally bestselling memoir, Reasons to Stay Alive, a broader look at how modern life feeds our anxiety, and how to live a better life.

The societies we live in are increasingly making our minds ill, making it feel as though the way we live is engineered to make us unhappy. When Matt Haig developed panic disorder, anxiety, and depression as an adult, it took him a long time to work out the ways the external world could impact his mental health in both positive and negative ways. Notes on a Nervous Planet collects his observations, taking a look at how the various social, commercial and technological “advancements” that have created the world we now live in can actually hinder our happiness. Haig examines everything from broader phenomena like inequality, social media, and the news; to things closer to our daily lives, like how we sleep, how we exercise, and even the distinction we draw between our minds and our bodies.
