The Shrink from Planet Zob: Psychiatry for a Mad World

We have all thought "the world's gone mad". Now, here in one book is the evidence. Jake Lyron presents insights on the human condition which have hitherto been the preserve of elite psychiatrists. Nearly 300 references provide evidence to back up the idea that the world really has gone mad. Misconceptions around mental illness are dealt with in the first few chapters. From there, Jake exposes the psychological workings of the big global issues of our day - war, poverty, the environment, corporate greed, religion, animal welfare, corrupt politics, distorted media, education and more.

In 2012 this book earned Jake a Mental Health Hero Award from leading mental health organisations for his contribution to this field.

The factual content is interspersed with the humerous story of the alien psychiatrist who came to Earth to share his therapeutic wisdom.

The book forms part of a campaign to bring some much needed sanity to the world, addressing the issue of genetic psychopathy.

"Lyron's evidence is compelling and revelatory. The factual content will challenge the best of us, but when you need it most the fictional thread will make you laugh out loud. An important book to take the world forwards." - Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the world's greatest living explorer.
