Britain On The Couch by Oliver James

Britain On The Couch by Oliver James

States that modern life makes us feel like losers, even if we are winners. Showing that the way we live, rather than our genes, induces in our bodies low levels of the 'happiness brain chemical' serotonin, this title analyses the deep-seated emotional malaise that has afflicted Britons since the 1990s.

A fascinating book * Sunday Times *
Vital questions are explored in this stimulating tract for our times, which deserves to be widely read, especially by those who govern us * Anthony Storr *
Well worth reading.. the author has recognised important social phenomena which have escaped less astute or honest observers * Sunday Telegraph *
Oliver James is a necessary and powerful voice in our culture, and Britain on the Couch is a fabulous exposure of the failure of the neo-liberal project * Tom Hodgkinson, editor of the Idler *
I think Oliver James and I are getting at the same thing: we are encouraged to believe that we can sort out our problems without any real effort and get pretty fed up when it becomes obvious we can't * John Humphreys, Devil's Advocate *

Oliver James trained and practised as a child clinical psychologist and, since 1988, has worked as a writer, journalist, broadcaster and television documentary producer and presenter. His books include the bestselling They F*** You Up, Affluenza and Contented Dementia. www.oliver-james-books.com
