'Beautiful to read and packed with cutting-edge science' Observer 'Poetic  mind-stretching and
through it all  deeply human' Daniel Levitin Mental illness is one of the greatest causes of
human suffering  its nature and origin a long-held mystery. But thanks to new science and
technology  our understanding has reached a tipping point. In Connections  Professor Karl

experience as an emergency psychiatry physician  in order to tell a wider story about the
origins of human emotion. Addressing some of the most timeless questions about the human
condition while illuminating the roots of misunderstood disorders such as depression  psychosis
schizophrenia and sociopathy  Connections transforms the way we understand the brain  and
forges a bold new path forward in our understanding of mental health. 'Revelatory . . . it
recalls the case histories of Oliver Sacks  at times the sweep of Yuval Harari's Sapiens. He
writes with an evident love of words - but also  with a lucid line of scientific enquiry'

memorable stories  each illuminated by cutting-edge science. A delight' Kathryn Mannix  author
