- Synopsis
- The essential guide to mental health from the bestselling author of The School of LifeThis 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 regaining the thread, 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 recuperation; the moments we realize we cannot cope; the acts of selfcare or therapy in which we find respite; and the days we finally reclaim a sense of stability. 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 anxiety around the everyday - and a practical guide that will help us find reasons for hope.We are all on our own journey towards recovery. This book is for anyone ready to understand theirs.'Alain de Botton is a brave and highly intelligent writer' Observer'One of our most consistently illuminating writers on contemporary culture' John Gray, New Statesman
