If you aren't talking to people you disagree with - and enjoying the difference between you, and being fascinated by it - then you are mentally dying.

This week author Johann Hari explained why the secret to happiness could be in thinking about others rather than yourself.

I am obsessed with the Australian writer Helen Garner. ‘The First Stone’ – her book about a sexual harassment case in Melbourne – is really complex, & I don’t agree with parts, but – wow, I could stay with that narrative voice all day, every day #SaturdayReading

When Canada tried a universal basic income in the 1970s in a town called Dauphin, mental illnesses so severe people had to be shut away in hospitals fell by 9% in just 3 years. Financial insecurity is a cause of mental illness; and reducing that insecurity reduces mental illness.

Why has depression risen, year after year, all through my lifetime? I discussed the causes - & what we can do about it - with @TheJeremyVine today, have a watch: bit.ly/2S0bylL

Professor Tim Kasser has shown: the more you think life is about money, and status, and how you look to other people, the more vulnerable you are to #depression and #anxiety. Just like junk food has taken over our diets, junk values have taken over our minds & made us sick.

Many of the factors driving our despair can't be solved individually; but they can be solved by us banding together to challenge the factors driving our despair. Individual, isolated gay ppl could do little about our distress; banding together, we changed our lives & the world

Elena Ferrante’s short novels are as incredible as the Neapolitan quartet. ‘The Days of Abandonment’ is an insanely intense story about – well, a woman being dumped; sort of; and going mad; sort of. Seriously: read it #SaturdayReading

It turns out that constant financial stress is a serious cause of depression. (No shit). We need to restore our common sense understandings of the causes of deep distress - & then deal with those causes with innovative policies like this.

The early results in Finland’s experiment giving people a no-strings basic income are in. They are fascinating. When this was tried in Canada in 70s, there was a significant fall in mental illness. huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/universa…

We have a right to marry. Peter has a right to speak. We don’t advance our rights by trying to take away his.

I am gay and passionately in favour of equal marriage rights. I disagree with Peter Hitchens 90% of the time. It’s outrageous he is being censored on university campuses. Free speech won us gay rights & it’s an insult to our struggle to dismantle it in this way pic.twitter.com/Vix7Y3BKas

This is a very good time for British people to read or reread one of the best political books ever, The Shock Doctrine by @naomiaklein - It’s like the hard Brexiteers are using it as a guidebook

When you are alone, you can easily feel your #depression and #anxiety are personal flaws. But you are surrounded by people who feel the same - and have the same hunger for reconnection as you. One of our challenges now is to find our ways back to the tribe, and to a sense of home

I define as “gay except for Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez-Cortes” and expect this to be so common it will have to be added to the LGBT thing. #LGBTAOC
