Review:This book is inspiring, motivating, and fun to read. With my marketing hat on, I see the missed opportunities for forging real connections and experiences with customers. And in my personal life, I am reminded to practice courage, make deeper connections, and, to quote the authors, "defy the forgettable flatness of everyday work and life by creating a few precious moments."

Review:Hard went at depression in a bold way and directly attacked the way our professionals treat it. While his section on psychotherapy was weak the total book was really great! He addressed the issues of depression and meaning in life in a way that few people do in our culture. Read more

Review:Prozac nation is a detailed account of what a person goes through with depression. For those who have no understanding of depression it sheds some light for them and it illustrates perfectly the hells that these depressed individuals can go through.

Review:I can't remember if this used book seller described this book as "Good," "Very Good," or "Like New," but it's dirty around the edges and looks like it got wet and then dried. Very disappointed and might not buy any more used books. Read more

Review:Inspirational and comforting, this book puts into perspective the blessings of the America we live in today. We so easily complain about the struggles of today, while not recognizing the opportunities of tomorrow. The honest, clean living, hard working can, and do have more opportunities than obstacles. Those of us with "hard ass" parents need to read this book. Read more

Review:While I like the medical information, I don't see the need for Biblical quotes to be included. Unfortunately, I did not read other reviews indicating a Blibical view, and would not have purchased the audio had I done so. I wanted a purely scientific and biological viewpoint, which this was not. So far, after listening to two of the CD's I have yet to hear much of an emphasis except in passing as to how cognition and explanatory style contribute to disease. I will continue to listen, but am s... Read more

Review:This title appeared as a recommendation in an article in The Christian Science Monitor, so I assumed it might be important. But I haven't learned anything new. I recently read The Shelter of Each Other : Rebuilding Our Families by Dr. Mary Pipher (1996) which was much more influential and at least written by someone in the field of mental health. Read more
