Hari embarked on an epic journey around the world, in preparation for the book, to look for answers-- not answers about addiction (per his last book, "Chasing The Scream"). In this journey-- which he describes in this talk-- Hari discovers the truth about what causes mental illnesses like anxiety and depression. After traveling the world, sifting through countless academic journals, and speaking to the world's leading authorities on the issue, Johann has arrived at an unexpected conclusion: depression is not just a problem for western medicine-- it is an issue in the purview of social science. Johann is now aware of nine primary social causes of depression, and seven social solutions-- keys to living a flourishing life. ********** Buy "Lost Connections" NOW: http://amzn.to/2ryWZ0A Follow Johann on twitter: @johanhari101 ********** Support the show: http://www.audibletrial.com/socialexc... http://paypal.me/ZRhoads
