I loved this book so much that I felt compelled to do a show on it! In it, Johann Hari travels across the world, and found social scientists who were uncovering evidence that depression and anxiety are not caused by a chemical imbalance in our brains. In fact, they are largely caused by key problems with the way we live today.
Once he had uncovered nine real causes of depression and anxiety, they led him to scientists who are discovering seven very different solutions - ones that work. Reading this book has been an epic journey for me, and has truly changed how I think about one of the biggest crises in our culture today, depression and anxiety.
