Summary
Johann Hari: Lost Connections
This is not a book about depression alone, this is a book about all of us resisting the relentless pressures of modern times. The door to a more humane society is hidden on these pages.
Depression is currently the second most common disease in the world, and despite the warnings of the World Health Organization and many experts, its momentum is not decreasing. For decades, doctors around the world have jumped to the conclusion that this profound unhappiness and sense of meaninglessness is the result of a malfunctioning brain chemistry. But helping people to find their value and meaning again, to connect after deep alienation and find their place in the community, to feel safe and supported, to take control of their life and work and to understand their identity - is far more powerful than pills that increase the level of serotonin in the brain, says Johann Hari in his worldwide bestseller that has helped thousands of people.
In this book, he told his story that led him on the path of scientific explanations of depression, but also its real solutions.
