One of the easiest and in depth non fiction/non self-help book I've read. It talks about how the way most of us are living today and what I interpreted as the hustle culture is causing mental issues in so many people. Johann Hari is so down to earth and relatable person. Every claim made in this book is either backed up with evidence or caviated. He talked with many scientists and sociologists with different opinions which makes the book so rich. He mentions Rutger Bregmam from utopia for realists which is another book I loved and it made me like it even more
This book didn’t necessarily tell me anything new- I’ve read many books that felt like little pieces of the grand puzzle that Johan puts together in this incredibly and easy to listen to audio book.
It made me angry, made me cry, and made me hopeful.
In my work as a mental health practitioner there was nothing in this book that I disagreed with, and many chapters reminded me of stories I’ve witnessed, and of my own journey.
It is a humanising and intuitive explanation of mental ill health that is only shocking because it contradicts the narrative we’ve been fed.
I love this book, and found it validating- but I’m sure it will be confronting and perhaps even offensive to some who have held onto the medical model of mental ill- health.
This book urged me again to pursue the thing I am always trying to pursue- reconnection to humanity.

This is a great book but so big and it’s a library book had to make the decision to stop reading & assume I knew the outcome
