THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

'This amazing book will change your life' Elton John
'Brilliant' Matt Haig
'Wonderful' Hillary Clinton
'A game-changer' Davina McCall
'Brilliant for anyone wanting a better understanding of mental health' Zoe Ball

A radically new way of thinking about mental health. What really causes depression and anxiety – and how can we really solve them? Award-winning journalist Johann Hari suffered from depression since he was a child and started taking anti-depressants when he was a teenager. He was told that his problems were caused by a chemical imbalance in his brain. As an adult, trained in the social sciences, he began to investigate whether this was true – and he learned that almost everything we have been told about depression and anxiety is wrong.

Across the world, Hari found social scientists who were uncovering evidence that depression and anxiety are largely caused by key problems with the way we live today. Hari´s journey took him from a mind-blowing series of experiments in Baltimore, to an Amish community in Indiana, to an uprising in Berlin. Once he had uncovered nine real causes of depression and anxiety, they led him to scientists who are discovering seven very different solutions – ones that work.

Screamingly addictive. The story tells it all, jaw-droppingly horrific, hilarious and incredible, is one everyone should know (Stephen Fry)

Breathtaking ... A powerful contribution to an urgent debate (Guardian)

this book is fantastic!

31 January 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book offers a refreshing (and compelling) take on depression, one you're unlikely to find elsewhere. Hari speaks with pioneering researchers who have investigated the causes of depression. The stories of the research -how they came about and were conducted- are themselves, fascinating. The findings, and their implications for those suffering from depression, invaluable. Much of it flies in the face of what big pharma would have us believe about the causes of depression (i.e. a chemical imbalance in the brain, and entirely fixable one at that. Ahem, anti depressant? Anyone? ). In actual fact, depression is, for many people a life problem, more than it is (just) a brain problem. The solution, it seems, are 'anti-depressants,' and not just the ones that come in a blister pack prescribed by a GP or other health professional. Honestly, this book is fantastic!

"Lost Connections" - ground-shaking and life-altering

2 June 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

“Lost Connections” – a deeply insightful, thought-provoking, integrative, paradigm-shifting, and empowering book; rewarding to read, and transformative in nature. The ideas explored by Johann Hari could revolutionize the way we live, work and play. However, each of us first needs to better understand – not only the deeper layers to depression – but also how our modern epidemic of depression and anxiety are more a statement of the many dysfunctions rife in our modern societies. Dysfunctions that can be changed – if we start making different choices!

Brilliant, refreshing and real insights into depression

13 February 2018

Format: Audible AudiobookVerified Purchase

Hari's research seems thorough. This is the first book that covers what many of us have thought about depression but never had the research to back it up. The book is written with compassion which allows the reader to become immersed and wanting to further develop their understanding of the real complexities of this lifestyle condition. In the next book please take a similar approach to the understanding of chronic pain. Thanks for the insights!!

Just because you like being on antidepressants doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read it!

27 February 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Ok, I’m being a little provocative, but it seemed to work because you’re reading this. It’s not anti science or denying the need for some depressed people to take drugs, but it’s a great personal story, as well as having some interesting discussion points for everyone... even if you’re not depressed.

I never quite believed the chemical imbalance theory, and now I know why: my depression and anxiety comes from multiple hardships in my often harsh world.
I will now go out there and seek out new friendships, meditate, and spend more time in green spaces

The best book on happiness I have read in a long time.

28 January 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A brilliant look at what we are missing and how we are looking for it in all the wrong places. We have forgotten who we are , not you , not me but we. The monkey is never happy in the cage.

Hitting the nail squarely on the head

7 April 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have silently suffered varying degrees of depression for many years and have always considered my depression to be 'circumstantial'. This book shows that I was always correct in that analysis, and further shows how to overcome it. Thanks Johann.
