NOT A SNORE!
Even if you don't acknowledge that You ever feel even slightly depressed, you know someone who is! This isn't the dry, clinical slog book...nor is it the condescending GET OVER YOURSELF..."you should just keep busy" self-help book that I have found so insulting! Anyone with a war against clinical depression, who continues to seek better ways of coping, can really USE this book. I was born a Pollyanna, then life kicked me around and I began to only see brief glimpses of that old, cheerful, optimistic me...so I asked for help asap...feeling the lower I sank, the longer the swim back up. Along with billions...maybe trillions...of people with severe back injuries, I know thriving means true mindfulness...to convince your body to keep moving no matter how much it hurts. This book is really helping me keep fighting for strength of mind.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
