Today I am taking part in the Random Things blog tour for Feeling Blah by Tanith Carey.
Here is the synopsis:
How much do you enjoy your life? Does life feel dull? A bit grey? Do you feel as if your emotions have flatlined?
This is anhedonia – a word only a few of us have heard of but one that explains why so many of us feel we are sleepwalking through life.
Anhedonia is from the Greek word for 'without pleasure' and describes a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It explains why many of us spend our lives in a fog, feeling neither happy nor sad, just not very much at all.
In the first book to tackle this missing piece in mental health, writer Tanith Carey joins the dots on how convenience culture, stressful lifestyles, modern diets and both female and male hormonal changes can dial down our ability to feel excitement and joy.
With the help of world-leading experts and by digging into the latest research, Tanith shows you how your brain's dopamine reward system works and provides strategies to help you bring colour back into your life.
My thoughts:
This is such a fascinating book, I was intrigued as soon as I saw the title.
I read it over and couple of weeks and enjoyed dipping in and out of the chapters. I feel that is really addressed things like why we might feel flat and unfulfilled.
I liked the way in which the book is structured in three parts.
Overall, I would highly recommend this book.
