![]() ![]() On being lost, Haig recounts an episode with his father when they got turned around in a forest in France. ![]() Much is left unsaid and left up to readers to dissect. Most chapters are only a few sentences long, the longest running for three pages. The author’s words are instigations, hopeful first steps toward illumination. This makes some of the material worthy of a second look, even when it feels runic or contrary to experience. Years ago, Haig experienced an extended period of suicidal depression, so he comes at many of these topics-pain, hope, self-worth, contentment-from a hard-won perspective. Like many collections of this sort-terse snippets of advice, from the everyday to the cosmic-some parts will hit home with surprising insight, some will feel like old hat, and others will come across as disposable or incomprehensible. Bestselling author Haig offers a book’s worth of apothegms to serve as guides to issues ranging from disquietude to self-acceptance. ![]()
