What makes me like a non-fiction book?
Further elaboration of the subject.
What makes me love it?
When the elaboration is personal.
This book didn't have any of those. 

As a result of my recent panic attacks and sleepless nights, I desperately clinged to this book looking for help and guidance from someone who suffered the same thing. But Matt Haig himself is barely out of the woods. With every sentence I read I got the feeling that he's on the verge of an anxiety attack himself, therefore every kind of advice he gave left a bitter taste in my mouth as I felt it was shallow and so stubbornly cliche and not that practical. And even if I wanted to take them seriously, the writing was so BLAND and tedious that I just couldn't.
Do this, Do that, Stop doing this, Be grateful for that and so on...

In any case, I think him, not being fully well, had its advantages. I terribly could relate to him and his incidents and seeing someone out there, in a whole other country with so many qualities different from you is going through the exact same thing, feels like a huge weight off of your shoulders. 

I'm happy I read this, but I'm not happy about it not providing me with any useful advice.
well maybe just one but that was a quote from Lao Tzu anyway... 

"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."
