Description
Showing that the way we live now rather than our genes induces in our bodies low levels of the 'happiness brain chemical' serotonin Oliver James analyses the deep-seated emotional malaise that has afflicted Britons since the 1990s. By recognising the role of individualism in raising expectations increasing discontent spawning psychopathic behaviour and destroying personal relationships James puts forward a three-point plan for healing by correcting the chemical imbalance directly - through drugs containing serotonin taking a complementary course of psychotherapy and on a political level by reorganising society on Scandinavian lines.
In this revised and updated edition Oliver James puts capitalism in the dock like never before and discovers that while it might be good for business it is bad for mental health.
