BITESIZE | Why We All Need to Feel Conne...

Dr Rangan Chatterjee: GP & Author
About this episode

CAUTION ADVISED: this podcast contains swearing and themes of an adult nature.


‘When individuals see themselves as part of a connected tapestry of wider meaning, they feel much better about their lives.’


Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my new weekly podcast for your mind, body and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.


Today’s clip is from episode 94 of the podcast with Johann Hari.


Johann went on a forty-thousand-mile journey around the world to interview leading experts about what causes depression and anxiety. However, he learnt the most, not from those experts, but from the incredible people on a council estate in Berlin called Kotti.


In this clip he shares the heart-warming story of how the residents of this small district of Berlin formed an unlikely community and the profound effects this had on everyone involved.
