My Latest Book

Living Better
How I Learned To Survive Depression
by
Alastair Campbell
"Superbly readable, supremely useful. Unflinching, clear-eyed, honest, raw and revealing, it may be the most important achievement of Alastair Campbell’s vivid and varied life. This book could save lives." – STEPHEN FRY
LIVING BETTER is Alastair Campbell’s honest, moving and life affirming account of his lifelong struggle with depression. It is an autobiographical, psychological and psychiatric study, which explores his own childhood, family and other relationships, and examines the impact of his professional and political life on himself and those around him. But it also lays bare his relentless quest to understand depression not just through his own life but through different treatments. Every bit as direct and driven, clever and candid as he is, this is a book filled with pain, but also hope - he examines how his successes have been in part because of rather than despite his mental health problems - and love. His partner of forty years, Fiona Millar, writes a moving afterword on how she too has learned to live with his depression.
Depression is the predominant mental health problem worldwide - it is estimated that 1 in 6 people in the past week experienced a common mental health problem and major depression is thought to be the second leading cause of disability worldwide. LIVING BETTER is a call to arms and an extraordinary memoir in one compelling and inspiring narrative. This is a book that really could save lives.
"One can only hope that LIVING BETTER provokes a far wider and more honest understanding of the condition" – JON SNOW
From Twitter
Pleasure to talk to @DavidLammy for @TheNewEuropean - as ever full of really interesting stuff with a depth and breadth you do not see in many more established papers. Enjoyed the piece Re Finnish town going carbon neutral and one on Robert Maxwell’s skill with languages 1/2
Not as if the media don’t do enough free propaganda without wasting money on this. I know papers are hard up but they damage their own cred by running this sort of crap

The UK Government are using taxpayer money to push fake pro-Brexit propaganda claiming business success.
See this paid piece in the Independent. Except it's not only the Independent, because they've also paid for variants of it to appear in local media.
