After our journey in part 1 into anxiety and depression, we follow Matt Haig’s recovery, as detailed in his fine book ‘Reasons To Stay Alive’, and talk about all the great stuff in life, both big and small, with a little help from some of Antony’s friends and family -thanks again to all contributors- as he approaches his half century (hence the title).
 
Along the way, we explore regrets of the dying, how a healthy attitude to death can enhance our lives, and those moments of ‘the sublime’ that we experience a lot as children but seem to ‘grow out of’ as we pass into adulthood.
 
Declutter your soul, travel, take some exercise, express gratitude, stroke an animal, do whatever works…
