Lost Connections: Why You’re Depressed and How to Find Hope

By Johann Hari

A revolutionary look at the real causes of anxiety and depression.

Lost Connections challenges the traditional idea that depression and anxiety are caused solely by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Johann Hari takes you on a global journey to uncover the nine real causes of our modern epidemic, ranging from loneliness and trauma to a lack of meaningful work and a disconnection from the natural world.

This book is a profound wake-up call that shifts the conversation from “what is wrong with your brain” to “what is happening in your life.” It offers a new path forward based on reconnecting with the things that truly make life worth living.

The Nine Disconnections: What Awaits You Inside

Through investigative research and deeply personal stories, you will explore a different way of thinking about mental health:

• The Myth of the Chemical Imbalance: Understand the social and environmental factors that contribute to our emotional well-being beyond just biology.
• The Power of Community: Discover why isolation is such a strong driver of despair and how “social prescribing” can lead to real healing.
• Finding Meaningful Work: Explore how a lack of control and purpose in our daily jobs impacts our mental stability and how to reclaim a sense of agency.
• Reconnecting with Nature: Learn why humans need a bond with the natural world to maintain a sense of peace and perspective.
