It would be impossible to praise this book too highly, it is a gem. There are a large number of instant mental exercises that break the spell of depression and make your mood better straight away and there are even more life-saving ideas about how to proceed from there. Ever heard of the phrase 'This is a lifesaver'? In all probability this book is literally a lifesaver; there will be some people in the trough of despair who will look back on this book as the first day of the rest of their lives. But it is just as applicable to those of us 'milder cases' who slip in and out of depression, in my case since my father and sister died in quick succession.
It's not a dogmatic book. It gives offers lots of different solutions from all sorts of different disciplines and it is a very human, at times funny book. I'd say you could read it in about one evening.
It should be available in doctor's surgeries on prescription.

Being a sufferer of depression I have bought a few similar books. So many of the messages struck a chord with me and many of the suggestions are simple and easy to follow. Whether it's long term goals, exercise or something simple like saying out loud positive words like 'sensational' or 'happiness' I found so much of use in this book. I've tried to follow some of the suggestions and I certainly feel better for it.

This book is of the self-help genre and gives several practical can-do ideas to try to overcome depression.
I am not particularly struck by the exercises involved, but I will say that this is the only book ever that has informed me about this shocking truth:
Depression is such a terrible illness that it robs you of your ability to fight it. In effect it is self-perpetuating. As the author notes, it would be the pinnacle's work of an evil scientist's career trying to create such a horrific illness.
There are also extremely relevant points the author notes. In the case of nutrition, he does not feel that eating / drinking properly will particularly help depression, but especially drinking too much alcohol will make things much worse. And he quite rightly declared that one night's hangover can trigger a whole week of depression.
I think the book is a tad pricey for the volume, but then it's all about quality not quantity. Overall however this book has really made me rethink how I work life and to deal with this dreadful illness, and I thoroughly recommend it.

Refreshing....
This book is great - the author talks to you but is not condescending or patronising. It really is refreshing and full of little ideas which can help with depression. Read more

Awful.
The author's style is so irritating and patronising it's impossible to absorb any useful information from the book.
