Johann Hari on Depression and Lost Connections

Johann Hari is an author and a journalist. His previous book was a New York Times Best Seller and his newest, Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression and the Unexpected Solutions, is no doubt on its way to share the same status. It proposes a more holistic, societal look at the causes and treatment of depression - more than the singular chemical imbalance explanation we traditionally consider. The core principal of getting our needs met is a thread that runs throughout this discussion and the deep dive that Johann Hari does on the subject will fascinate you and cause you to stop and think very differently than you have before on this topic that affects so many people in this world.

  • The importance of addressing the deep environmental factors/reasons why we're so depressed and anxious
  • Our sense of home and sense of belonging
  • The problems manifested by being isolated and alone
  • The benefit of being part of a "tribe"
  • Realizing that you're not the only one who struggles and feels the way you do
  • Grief and the diagnosis of depression
  • Just having a chemical imbalance means your pain doesn't have meaning
  • Depression and not having your needs met
  • Following the pain to its source
