 book review August 15, 2008
although i only skimmed the book today - i got too many others to read first. the book i received was brand new, discounted, came with a cd that coordinates with the chapters and the book has some good reviews by current holistic leaders.
Excellent book for depression August 7, 2008

This book is very good, anyone who has suffered depression should read it. The program, if you choose to follow the program that the book outlines, is demanding, but perfectly doable - - requiring 45 minutes per day. I think it's worth it - - have just started doing the 45 minutes of meditations myself, and hope it will help.
A GREAT book for dealing with depression, anxiety, and stress August 7, 2008

This is simply one of the best self help books to be produced in a decade. And it's useful for nearly any form of psychological issue that you may be struggling with. What makes this book a gem is the CD which will guide you through various meditation and relaxation exercises. As a neuroscience researcher exploring the effects of meditation on the brain (see Newberg and Waldman's forthcoming book, How God Changes Your Brain: Breakthrough Findings from a Leading Neuroscientist, I am convinced that this is one of the best ways there is to substantially reduce depression, anxiety, and stress in anyone. Even if you don't read the book, listen to the CD. It will definitely change your brain, and your life.
The Mindfulness Way Through Depression July 14, 2008
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.

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.
