David Cohen is a prolific writer, filmmaker and psychologist
We can live vicariously through science fiction and reality TV, but who'd have thought we'd be living it? And with no blueprint, how do we make sense of life in a pandemic? That's where 'Surviving Lockdown: Human Nature in Social Isolation' by David Cohen comes in. It's a veritable tour de force packed with psychological insights, personal anecdotes, references from popular culture, and coping strategies. Written in an engaging style, it offers a much needed to guide to making sense of life in lockdown. It's a book to help us to reflect on our behaviour and mental states in extraordinary times, to extract life lessons and to inspire us to tell stories of survival and growth of our own. - Dr Gary Wood, social psychologist, wellbeing coach and author of The Psychology of Wellbeing
