Johann Hari on Depression and Lost Connections

The One You Feed - Een podcast door iHeartPodcasts

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. Please Support The Show with a Donation Visit oneyoufeed.net/transform to learn more about our personal transformation program.Madison Reed - affordable, salon quality at home hair color kit get color matched www.madison-reed.com 10% off plus free shipping on first kit promo code WOLF In This Interview, Johann Hari and I Discuss...His new book, Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression and the Unexpected SolutionsThe two kinds of human connectionIntrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (external) motivations"Junk" valuesThe more you're driven by extrinsic values, the more likely you'll suffer from anxiety and depression in your lifeOur society drives us to live in this extrinsic wayThe whole point of advertising is to make us feel inadequate and our problems can be solved by buyingExtrinsic motives can crowd out the more fulfilling intrinsic motivesThe 9 causes of depression and anxietyThe need to look more holistically at anxiety and depression than just a chemical imbalanceThat the book is NOT saying not to take medications that help with anxiety and depressionThe loneliest culture that has ever beenThe importance of addressing the deep environmental factors/reasons why we're so depressed and anxiousOur sense of home and sense of belongingThe problems manifested by being isolated and aloneThe benefit of being part of a "tribe"Realizing that you're not the only one who struggles and feels the way you doGrief and the diagnosis of depressionJust having a chemical imbalance means your pain doesn't have meaningDepression and not having your needs metFollowing the pain to its sourcePathologizing DepressionJohann Hari LinksLost Connections HomepageTwitterFacebook  Please Support The Show with a DonationSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
