Do you ever feel indifferent about life? Your emotions have flatlined and enjoyment feels like a distant memory. This is ‘anhedonia’, few of us have heard of the term but many of us experience it, we just haven’t identified it, until now! Join award-winning journalist Tanith Carey as she helps you to understand what it is, why it happens and provides real strategies to address it.

‘Anhedonia’, is from the Greek word for ‘without pleasure’ and describes a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed, whether it’s a favourite hobby, spending time with friends and loved ones, or even sex.

As we get older, evidence shows that hormonal shifts in both men and women - particularly the fall in oestrogen and testosterone - can change the brain’s reward circuitry. The decline in oestrogen can also cause a change in the range of the bacteria in the gut, which is where feel-good hormones, like serotonin, are made. It can even dampen the senses of smell and taste. Yet because we’ve never identified this state, many of us spend our lives in a fog where we feel neither happy, nor sad - but just not very much at all.

Providing a science-based examination of why so many of us are suffering and what to do about it, delivered in a punchy, revelatory style you will learn how to fall back in love with life again.
