Lost Connections: Why You're Depressed and How to Find Hope
by Johann Hari
“So instead of seeing your depression and anxiety as a form of madness, I would tell my younger self—you need to see the sanity in this sadness. You need to see that it makes sense. Of course it is excruciating. I will always dread that pain returning, every day of my life. But that doesn’t mean the pain is insane, or irrational. If you touch your hand to a burning stove, that, too, will be agony, and you will snatch your hand away as quickly as possible. That’s a sane response. If you kept your hand on the stove, it would burn and burn until it was destroyed.”
This read was the perfect timing when I was at such a loss.
I was honestly having a mid-life crisis and being so emotional the past few months.
What I enjoyed about the read on how it helped me reset my brain.
The content of the book helped me reset how I was viewing my life and current journey in where I am.
I have always been comfortable with being alone, but it was a struggle this year.
I couldn't understand why I was having anxiety being alone and reading this made me shift my perspective on things.
Some of the reads can be a little longer but the information and history facts are interesting to read.
It can't be read in one sitting as it will be heavy and some points just need to be read at the right time.
“You need your nausea. You need your pain. It is a message, and we must listen to the message. All these depressed and anxious people, all over the world—they are giving us a message. They are telling us something has gone wrong with the way we live. We need to stop trying to muffle or silence or pathologize that pain. Instead, we need to listen to it, and honor it. It is only when we listen to our pain that we can follow it back to its source—and only there, when we can see its true causes, can we begin to overcome it.”
