Despite the increase of material wealth and the ubiquity of comfortable lifestyles in the modern world, humanity is nonetheless plagued by various debilitating mental disorders. One of the most common among them is depression. I was also under its grasp. There are different kinds of books and articles describing how to get over it, but if I have to pick my favourite, it would be this book because of its lucidity. The approach of this book in resolving depression is counterintuitive and pragmatic unlike the clichéd and sweet-sounding but unrealistic solutions that are generally available in the market. Actually this book, in the simplest of ways, describes the fundamental reason of why depression takes hold of a person in the first place, and it is only when one understands the root cause of any problem will he be able to eradicate it successfully.

Life is a series of problems don't find shortcuts and don't jump from one problem to another. Learn to solve the problem. This book is a powerful tool to understand depression and stress related problems. It's also therapeutic but therapist isn't the one who do the work it's you. Like therapists can only show you path,it has complete guide to overcome depression. Highly recommended for all.
