Lost Connections – Uncovering the real causes of depression – and the unexpected solutions

For those grappling with depression and anxiety, Johann Hari’s Lost Connections offers a refreshing perspective that challenges the notion of mental illness as solely a chemical imbalance in the brain. With meticulous research and compelling narratives, the book explores how our societal structures and personal experiences can profoundly impact our psychological well-being. Hari delves into alternative approaches for addressing mental health issues, advocating for fostering meaningful connections and addressing underlying factors such as trauma, loneliness, and lack of autonomy. This thought-provoking work encourages readers to rethink society’s reliance on pharmaceutical solutions and consider holistic strategies that promote genuine healing and contentment.
