Matt Haig champions reading as mental health tool at Cheltenham Literature Festival

Author Matt Haig spoke at the Cheltenham Literature Festival on World Mental Health Day, arguing that books offer a 'magical' and non-demanding form of support for those struggling with mental health. Haig, who has ADHD and previously suffered from depression, shared how reading childhood classics like Winnie the Pooh helped him during a breakdown. He criticized societal 'snobbery' around reading, advocating for all formats, including graphic novels and audiobooks, as valid ways to find joy and healing. The festival co-chief executive, Ali Mawle, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that reading helps young people feel connected and less alone.
