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

I don’t think I would have the courage to do what Navalny is doing... So at least let’s do all that’s in our power to support and to help him #Navalny #Magnitsky https://twitter.com/christogrozev/status/1350810142334476288
This is a brilliant thread. I keep talking to people losing their minds battling CHIEF etc. But read the papers? Hardly a word, which is as the govt wants it. Let’s see if weeks 3 or 4 the strains (which are real) cut through. 1/ https://twitter.com/daniellambert29/status/1350367078662987777
Over the past 15 days I have not only been running my company as normal but I have been faced with largest threat to its future since it began in 1992. This is #Brexit & here is my thread on just how bad things are getting. 1/26
Is it too much to hope that someone in government might a) be aware? B) offer some help and support? C) get a grip? The Brexit red tape is destroying businesses all around the country and ministers don’t care because fish can sing God Save The Queen
