So freaking relatable. This author's perspective on mental health cause and effect is a breath of fresh air. I recommend this to anyone struggling against the pressure of pharmaceuticals. You won't be disappointed.

The first part of this book was really enlightening about many of the causes of depression we don't normally think about. I was excited about the solutions focused part of the book. I wanted something to do with my newfound knowledge. I wanted to take action in my own life to make things better for myself.

The second part of the book left me wanting, because instead of focusing on individual change, Hari focuses on societal change. He advocates for universal basic income and other policies to enhance people's lives and make them less dependent on unfulfilling jobs, etc.

I do believe there needs to be societal change in order for us to live more aligned with our true purpose on earth, but I also want some here and now type of advice. Fortunately, the nine or so areas of lost connection gave me a framework to think through what might be missing in my own life, and begin to restore those connections.

It's not your fault if you develop depression - there is a mix of reasons between societal/biological/environmental
