Lost Connections: Why You're Depressed and How to Find Hope by Johann Hari

4.0

Essential reading - great for anyone who has or has not suffered from anxiety or depression. Sheds light on a lot of the issues regarding the stigma and provides hopeful solutions to the illness. Very easy to read and the examples are interesting and relevant. What I really enjoyed was how the author justifies each of his points with research; little is opinionated, even if he did suffer from depression himself. Even when it is opinionated, he makes it clear that he is being opinionated.

Main takeaway - connecting with people is one of the main things that make us human, to rid ourselves of others is to lose ourselves (so reconnect!).
