About this listen
‘Rose Cartwright breaks all our old certainties and liberates us to approach our mental struggles with new humanity and creativity. The book cannot fail to interest anyone concerned with their mind’s bewildering beautiful complexities’ ALAIN DE BOTTON
'Radically open-minded. An extraordinary, paradigm-shifting work' NATHAN FILER
Featuring interviews with leading figures including Amanda Fielding, Michael Pollan and Gabor MatéWhat if treating misery as a medical problem is making us miserable?
Someone dies by suicide every 40 seconds.
Antidepressant use in the West has more than doubled in the last twenty years.
Yet no biological test can diagnose any mental health problem.
So where are we going wrong?
Rose Cartwright was once the poster-girl for OCD. Now, she reveals how the failure of the mental health system led her to radical action. Uncovering her trauma through a series of mind-bending psychedelic trips, she explores a new path to healing.
If you have ever asked yourself: ‘why am I like this?’
This revolutionary book – part memoir, part manifesto – could change your life.

A vital contribution to the urgent task of rethinking mental illness
It is rare for an insider to tell their story with such skill and authenticity. We need to completely rethink mental/emotional health/illness and learn to own our inner lives free from medical and other dogmas. This book contributes powerfully to the conversations we are having - or should be having.

Brilliant
This is a clear and eloquent account of how people grappling with distress are failed by the limited and shonky foundations on which the 'mental illness' and psychiatric diagnosing paradigm is built. Rose has written of her first hand struggles eloquently and powerfully, but also researched widely to contextualise her experience and understand how the dominant narratives of our time shape that experience. She connects her own experience to the way human suffering has been packaged to serve political, industrial and economic interests. I wish every therapist could read this book. I fear many will be distracted by descriptions of her experience with psychedelics rather than understanding the powerful and subtle human processes they illuminate. Thank you Rose.
