If you’ve been following Wise and Shine, you may have noticed I’ve been writing and publishing a growing series of posts connected with:
- Depression and some of its causes (especially those which are social-environmental in nature);
- Possible solutions, or “non-pharmaceutical anti-depressants;”
- Johann Hari’s book Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression — And the Unexpected Solutions.
There are now enough of these posts to demand they be gathered and organized, especially as it is not a strictly linear series. This is that page. I intend to update it as new posts in the series are written and published. Below you’ll find links to the various posts in this still-growing series.
But first, a link to the official website for Lost Connections:
