This is an extraordinary, elegant exploration of a timely problem.
It is written with wit and elan and provides a devastating analysis
of our society that is both shocking and profound
*Dr Max Pemberton of the Daily Mail*
As with his book on drugs, Johann Hari has delivered a remarkable
tour de force on a difficult, complex and controversial subject and
made the reader think anew
*Alastair Campbell*
An exquisitely lucid treatise on why no person is, has been or ever
should be an island. This book is the most exciting thing I’ve read
this year. From slightly seedy to suicidal – however you are
feeling – read this book and it will honestly help you to
understand which roads we must walk if we want to see true, lasting
change
*Emma Thompson*
A vital, compelling and eye-opening examination of the myths we
have been taught to believe about depression and anxiety ... Hari
again proves that he is one of the world’s most important and most
enlightening thinkers and social critics
*Glenn Greenwald*
A bold call for a complete re-evaluation of what is causing the
western epidemic of mental illness
*Sunday Times*
A compassionate, common-sense approach to depression and anxiety …
His book brings with it an urgency and rigour that will, with luck,
encourage the authorities to sit up and take note
*Guardian*
Extraordinary ... A highly personal book, written with humility,
humour and candour, it nonetheless heralds a crucial new discussion
about our mental health — and health of the world we’ve created for
ourselves … I honestly couldn’t put it down. What a stunning piece
of work
*Brian Eno*
This is an astonishing book, that transforms our understanding of
one of the crucial issues of our times. Johann Hari asks the big
questions and provides the big answers – answers that have been
neglected for far too long. You cannot fully understand this great
curse of our age until you have read it
*George Monbiot*
Johann Hari has written a book that could actually make us happy.
It is very important everyone read this book and do what he says as
quickly as possible
*Simon Amstell*
A beautiful book from the person that brilliantly once said “the
opposite of addiction is connection” and who now explores and
offers some solutions to our disconnection
*Jemima Khan*
You might think Lost Connections is a self-help title but in
reality it’s a book that aims to change society, not individuals …
Lost Connections is an important and controversial book because it
asks questions about the biggest problems we have in the world
*Attitude Magazine*
Brilliant
*Mail on Sunday*
Thought-provoking ... His comprehensible and penetrating study
features extensive research and interviews with everyone from
leading scientists and medics to members of the Amish community.
This heartening book reveals the mutual social benefits of
reconnecting with others and helping them to help yourself
*Western Mail*
Lost Connections isn't as much about science and mental health as
it is about society, and the stories we tell around mental illness
... This book's value lies in its attempt to change the stories we
tell about the depressed and anxious, and perhaps help some of
those suffering change how they think about themselves
*Independent i*
