Lost Connections: Why You're Depressed and How to Find Hope by Johann Hari
5.0
Backed by a slew of scientific research this book broandens the view on what depression is and what might be the cause of it. If you are in a position where depression affects you because you're suffering from it, if people close to you are suffering from it or if you want to know more than the stories about brain chemistry and depression that we are told again and again this is the book for you.
Takeaways:
- There are more reasons for depression than you are told and more ways to overcome it than presented to you.
- Happiness as in the lack of depression is an internal thing that can't be facilitated by externalities
- Depression is normal reaction to a sick society.
Conclusion:
Johann Hari has a talent for making difficult research assessable through human stories that capture you and reels you in. Lost Connections is thought provoking and can give you a sense of relief, piss you off and all of the feelings inbetween. You won't leave this book without feeling something.
I will definitely re-read this book and I have already borrowed my copy to a friend and recommended it to others.
