Honestly a life changing book that the whole world needs to read. The book highlights how the root of most human suffering, especially emotional is fundementally a direct result of the “lost connections” as human beings we need to find our tribe and have connection to the world and other people around us which has been lost in a post modern world. Lost connections provides the science, psychology, facts and proof that basic human connection, whether it be romantic, platonic or just a group of people coming together is the only way to thrive as a species. It is not complicated or sugarcoated and is an easily accessible read and I cannot recommend it enough. Every point is backed up with evidence and I really enjoyed the personal inner dialogue of the author as he contemplates the mechanisms of the world with references to the questionable motives of the pharmaceutical industry and where we’ve gone wrong as a society. I fully believe this book provides the answers to tackling mental health, addiction, and overall hapiness and wellbeing. Finding your tribe, or at least connection with other human beings has been lost in translation and this book has the potential to change so many lives. I’ve had treatment resistant severe depression and anxiety since early childhood and this book has helped me more than any pill or therapy- this book should be on prescription. Johann uses his own journey and looks at a range of different perspectives without bias or over-complication and articulates quite complex topics in an easy to understand and engaging ways and it’s honestly changed my life. Can’t recommend enough.
