Summary: The Mindfulness Way Through Depression
Comment: A new approach to dealing with depression that offers hope for those who have had little success with other therapies. What is new is the idea of combining techniques that are known to work rather than relying on single approaches. Learning to live in the moment removes many of the triggers that lead to depression. The best book I have read on this topic. I bought 5 copies. I have given away all of them to people who have expressed interest in the book. All of these people have had positive reactions to the book.

Summary: Exceptinally Helpful
Comment: I'd like to express my deep thanks to the author for this compassionate, insightful and very practical book.
I am using this book in conjunction with congnitive therapy for to recover from a 3+ year bout of depression and have found it very helpful. I cannot say it will be as insightful for everyone who reads it but for me I found it provided a very accurate description of what I was experiencing and has given me some very practical advice on how to climb out from a very painful mental state. I'd suggest that you use this book in connection with some actual therapy but can see how it would be useful as a stand-alone self help book if you're properly motivated.

Summary: At last I understand
Comment: This book has been the miracle of my life. After suffering Chronic Depression for 13 years, I have a clear understanding of what is happening inside my head for the first time. That in itself is uplifting!
The book explains in clear and easy to understand language the processes that lead us into, and keep us living with depression, and the knowledge gained from the book combined with the cd is like a road map out of the cycle. I found it so helpful I purchased one for a friend who is depressed. If only I had this book 13years ago when this all began!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very engaging and useful.
Comment: The book is a relatively quick read--as a clinical psychologist I like to preview books that I might recommend to pts--I got thru it in a weekend. The CD is excellent. Very good value. Beneficial even if one is not depressed!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent book merging meditation into our daily lives
Comment: A therapist recommeded this book to me. And I couldn't be happier with it. All too often it is easier to ignore feelings, run from them, and then end up with anxiety and depression. This books helps me find a practical way of being with thoughts and feelings and learning kindness towards myself.
The book is really for someone who is open to trying something new (if you don't already do meditation practices). If you want a quick fix to depression, there is probably no such thing and this book definitely isn't that. But it gives a great way to start to really live life moment by moment.
