Synopsis

If talking or antidepressants didn’t work for you, here could be your way to happiness.

Current treatments for depression are based on the idea that something must be wrong in your brain. But this book argues that, in all but very rare cases, depression is actually caused by something being badly wrong in your life.

The cure for depression is to understand what you need in your life to be happy and then take action to get it.

This book will enable you to identify what action to take and then do it. In addition, it describes advanced life skills that can enable you to emotionally survive - without falling in to depression - on those occasions when life is especially challenging.

The author draws on more than 20 years’ experience of treating people for depression, as a registered psychotherapist, both for the UK National Health Service and privately. In place of existing treatments of questionable effectiveness and driven by huge commercial interests he describes here a return to ancient wisdom that people all over the world have known for millennia. He writes ‘The people who do the kinds of things described here get better and go on to hugely enjoy their lives’.

This is an easy to understand self-help workbook, designed for you to mess up with notes, doodles, comments and action plans.
