Author and journalist Johann Hari thinks that modern life sets you up to be depressed. He posits that consumerism is sort of like junk food in that you can consume all you want but it's still never going to be filling. The constant insecurity we get from heavy marketing—of whether we're making enough money or have enough stuff—ruins true human connections, and doesn't lead to any growth for society as a whole. But there's hope. Johann's new book is the fascinating Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions.
