Now in paperback, this is a manifesto for staying alive, whatever your demons, from the bestselling author of "The Radleys, The Humans" and many other novels. Haig recounts how, at the age of 24, he became suicidally depressed, and how he managed to triumph over his mental illness. Moving, funny and joyous, he goes on to offer advice for others experiencing depression. 'Maybe the most important book I've read this year' Simon Mayo
