Lost Connections by Johann Hari

There are some books you read and instantly know you’ll carry with you. Lost Connections is one of them.

At Think Wellbeing, we believe that genuine wellbeing can’t be reduced to quick fixes or surface-level tips. It’s about the deeper stuff — meaning, connection, purpose, and the environments we live and work in. This book gets that.

Johann Hari explores why so many people today are feeling anxious, low, or lost — and he does it with openness, curiosity, and compassion. He challenges some of the standard stories we’ve been told about depression, and instead invites us to look more closely at how we live, what we’ve lost, and what we need to find again.

This isn’t a book of neat answers. But it will leave you with better questions — and a strong sense that things can change. If you’ve ever struggled with your mental health, or you support others who do, or you’re just trying to make sense of what it means to feel well in an overwhelming world… this book is worth your time.

It’s one we keep coming back to.
