I really enjoyed a lot of this book. The first half especially was really great. He put a lot of research into writing this. However, I didn't appreciate how he assumed his only audience is depressed or anxious people. He kept writing to them only like there are no other reasons to read his book. I get that that is his experience and why he's choosing to write this story but it rubbed me the wrong way.
This was a good touch to show us how complex the mental issues are, that far from having solely biological reasons it has also psychological and social roots. Yet I took my time reading this book. It comforted me, but I found it rather simple with so much information I had already known.
Still I gave it 4 stars because it is a good collection of psychological studies shown to help depression and anxiety and a good starting point.

The underlying points feel strong and intuitive: living in atomized, materialistic, unequal society is making us miserable and we need to band together to build a better world. That’ll solve anxiety and depression more than SSRI’s. Unsure how grounded in research his points are. Occasionally prose too pop science for my taste. But a very readable, useful book.
