author/psychologist

Tanith Carey is the author of 'Feeling Blah? Why Anhedonia has left you joyless and how to recapture life's highs.'

A growing body of research is exploring anhedonia as a distinct mental health condition, rather than just a symptom of depression. 'Feeling Blah?' is Carey's first book to address the missing word in our mental health discussion, anhedonia.

In this book, thousands of studies are combined with interviews with neuroscientists to explore why modern life isn't making us happy.

It is common for us to be in a state of overwhelm that leaves us feeling numb and in a state of emotional apathy.

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.

Groundbreaking, accessible and often surprising, this is the book that will teach you how to kickstart your feel-good chemicals and start loving life again.
