Johann Hari - The Importance of Connection

About this episode

<p>In the first episode of season two, Hugh chats with international best-selling author, Johann Hari.</p> <p>For those of you who listened to season one, you will have heard us mention Johann Hari, and his book<em>&nbsp;Lost Connections,&nbsp;</em>ALOT. We&rsquo;re big fans.</p> <p>In fact, he&rsquo;s had a huge influence on not just us, but some of our previous guests (<em>see Missy Higgins Ep. 1).&nbsp;</em>So, even though it&rsquo;s a bit of a different episode than what we&rsquo;d usually do, we couldn&rsquo;t be more excited to be starting the season with Johann as our first guest.</p> <p>Hugh and Johann have a fascinating discussion around anxiety, depression, addiction, connection and how our mental health is connected to the work around us.</p> <p>Following this, Ryan and Hugh try hard not to completely fanboy over Johann as they attempt to further explore some of these powerful ideas.</p> <p>If this episode has triggered anything for you around mental health, we strongly recommend lifeline on 13 11 14.</p> <p>The Imperfects is brought to you by The Resilience Project.
