Depression and anxiety are now at epidemic levels. Why? Across the world, scientists have uncovered evidence for nine different causes. Some are in our biology, but most are in the way we are living today.
Lost Connections offers a radical new way of thinking about this crisis. It shows that once we understand the real causes, we can begin to turn to pioneering new solutions – ones that offer real hope.

“I loved Lost Connections by Johan Hari. He does a masterful job of exposing what addiction really is and why most people don’t understand it. I’d been working on writing on this topic for years but never published what I’d written. Hari uncovered many of the same stories but did so much better than I could have.”↗

“Three wonderful books I recommend that pertain to drug reform and depression – two issues in our minds this week – and some important connections between them: • Lost Connections by Johann Hari • Chasing the Scream by Johann Hari • How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan”↗
