About this listen
What if all the things you’d been told would make you happy were red herrings?
Jill Stark was living the dream. And then it all fell apart. It forced her to ask if she’d been sold a lie. From the ashes of Jill’s epic breakdown and through her own battles with mental-health issues comes this raw, funny, and uplifting exploration of our age of anxiety. Why, she asks, in a western world with more opportunity, choice, and wealth than ever before, are so many of us depressed, anxious, and medicated? When we’ve never had more ways to connect, why do we feel so profoundly disconnected? And could it be that our relentless pursuit of happiness is making us miserable?
Road-testing neuroscience’s latest psychological frontiers in compassion, acceptance, gratitude, play, hope and solitude, Jill turns the happiness fairytale on its head. What would happen if we stopped chasing, stayed still, and found calm and meaning in places we least expected?

Really enjoyable!
Really enjoyable insight into mental illness and wellness. As someone who has travelled a similar journey (and apparently read all the same books as the author) I really resonated with this experience

Poignant and inspiring
Without ever having had mental illness, Jills story is utterly relatable. A moving, powerful story

You’re not alone - Thank you
I purchased this book and for reasons not important I could not finish it - so I managed to get the online copy to which I have finished - I was so sick and tired of hearing about 3 things for this and 10 things for that - I almost didn’t buy the book! OMG if you’ve ever felt alone or bewildered or just want to try and help someone else GET THIS BOOK ❤️ not only has it given me a perspective on someone else it has given me practical ideas that I can and have implement straight away to DO something not just think about it - Jill, thank you for sharing your thoughts, your friends and of course Hamish ( no eviction notices here) loved the humour the frankness and touching reminder that it is ok to feel broken and that we all have a story to tell - I am grateful, and excited that I have the book to reflect on 😊

very informative but a bit long
well researched, after all the author is a journalist.
I didn't expect the conclusion, but it makes me think further & she is probably right.
