Publication Day: 13th april 2023
Publisher : Welbeck
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.
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.
Meet Tanith Carey
Tanith Carey is the author of 13 books, mainly specialising in psychology and parenting.
Her latest book is Feeling ‘Blah’? Why Life Feels Joyless and How to Recapture its Highs, published by Hachette.
Following its hardback launch in April 2023, where it was widely covered in outlets ranging from The Times to Reader’s Digest and Psychologies magazine, it will be published in paperback in April 2024.
Tanith’s next book, to be published in February 2024, is ‘What’s My Tween Thinking? Practical Child Psychology for Modern Parents’, with clinical psychologist Angharad Rudkin, for DK books.
This is the third in a highly successful series of books which also includes ‘What’s My Child Thinking?’ for parents of two to seven year olds, and ‘What’s My Teenager Thinking?’ for parents of 13 to 18 year olds. The new one covers the intervening years from 8 to 12.
These books are now in more than 35 foreign editions, including Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Ukrainian and Chinese.
The unique and accessible guides are the first to clearly use child psychology and development to examine real-world challenging situations – looking at the thinking of BOTH parent and child in the moment to create connection.
Tanith also holds a Certificate in Therapeutic Skills and Studies, and combines journalism and book writing with her training for a Master’s Degree in Gestalt psychotherapy at London’s Metanoia Institute.
