Are you happy? Does it matter?
Increasingly, governments seem to think so. As the UK government conducts its first happiness survey, Alastair Campbell looks at happiness as a political as well as a personal issue; what it should mean to us, what it means to him. Taking in economic and political theories, he questions how happiness can survive in a grossly negative media culture, and how it could inform social policy.
But happiness is also deeply personal. Campbell, who suffers from depression, looks in the mirror and finds a bittersweet reflection, a life divided between the bad and not-so-bad days, where the highest achievements in his professional life could leave him numb, and he can somehow look back on a catastrophic breakdown twenty-five years ago as the best thing that happened to him. He writes too of what he has learned from the recent death of his best friend, further informing his view that the pursuit of happiness is a long game.
Originally published as part of the Brain Shots series, the pre-eminent source for high-quality, short-form digital non-fiction.

Many of us need people like him to help us going through life struggles, to gain perspective and feel we are in it together.
The more people come in the open and talk about it the easier and quicker it will be the road to recovery by people who don't have platforms from which Alistair Campbell is delivering his own struggle of the disease.
I really liked his passionate and assertive narration. It was clear and to the point.
In fact I liked it so much I read it twice
Hats off to you Alistair

The attitudes to mental health have moved on since this book was written and it is because of people like Alistair Campbell sharing their own vulnerabilities that we live in a more tolerant world today.
I enjoyed the book. It was short and to the point, well worth a listen.
Okay...
