In conversation with Matt Haig

Posted on 21 May 2026

Watching time 61 minutes

In our latest 'In conversation with' session, the Mishcon Academy were joined by Matt Haig, internationally bestselling author of The Midnight Library and Reasons to Stay Alive, whose work has reached millions and helped shape global conversations about mental health.

Coinciding with Mental Health Awareness Week, Matt joined us to discuss his new novel, The Midnight Train, a moving exploration of love, regret and the choices that define us. He reflected on how we make sense of the past, what we might do differently if given another chance, and how identity and self-compassion influence us.

The session gave us the chance to hear from one of today’s most thoughtful and relatable voices, while exploring the themes at the heart of his new book.

The Mishcon Academy offers outstanding legal, leadership and skills development for legal professionals, business leaders and individuals. Our learning experts create industry leading experiences that create long-lasting change delivered through live events, courses and bespoke learning.
