LOST CONNECTIONS: WHY YOU’RE DEPRESSED AND HOW TO FIND HOPE

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 factors in the way we are living.

Johann Hari´s ground-breaking bestseller offers a radical new way of thinking about this crisis. Lost Connections shows that once we understand the real causes, we can begin to turn to pioneering new solutions – ones that offer real hope.

To mark the paperback release of the Sunday Times Bestseller Lost Connections by Johann Hari Bloomsbury Publishing are giving away 5 sets of 10 books to reading groups!
