This is a book about getting unwell. About losing direction and hope. About imagining that we have let ourselves and everyone down. But it is also a book about getting better. About rediscovering meaning and finding a way back to connection and joy. Here, Alain de Botton follows the arc of a mental health journey, from crisis to recovery. Written with understanding and kindness, it is both a source of companionship in our loneliest moments - whether it''s a relationship breakdown, a career setback or an anxiety around the everyday - and a practical guide that will help us find reasons for hope. Praise for Alain de Botton: ''What he has managed to do is remarkable: to help us think better so that we may live better lives'' Irish Times ''Alain de Botton likes to take big, complex subjects and write about them with thoughtful and deceptive innocence'' Observer ''One of our most consistently illuminating writers on contemporary culture'' John Gray, New Statesman
