As I said in the book thread, Johann Hari's point in Lost Connctions is that the more disconnected we are from normal and human cravings like a stable income, friends & community, a sense of purpose and meaningful work, the likelier it is that we become depressed and anxious. Which made me reflect on how disconnected I feel from the things I value. Leading to the wonderful conclusion that I don't. It's been a long and uphill battle to get here. I haven't forgotten that five, ten years ago I did feel alone and directionless. And I still have more than enough flaws that I'm working on. But that a book on disconnection cheers me up instead of resonating with my problems speaks volumes to me.
