I picked this up because I liked Stolen Focus (which maybe I should revisit now I’m more familiar with the author’s schtick),but I kinda hated this in both style and substance.

Whilst the conversation around a lot of the points on 'reconnection' in this book has progressed since it was published, I found it to be a really well rounded look at how we might seek out happier and more connected ways of living. I did find there to be some fatphobic undertones running through the book, which disappointingly seems to be a common trend in self help/psychology/personal development texts

Wonderful book, exploring the connection between our biological and tribal history as humans and our mental health. Listing clearly what is the reason for our anxiety, loneliness and depression and exactly how to deal with it without any medication. A fantastic read for everyone who is looking for ways to improve their mental health, no matter if they feel depressed, stressed or just lost. I highly recommend!
