If you have ever encountered depression, then you know that all attempts to get out of it using arguments of reason and fighting a bad mood with willpower only lead to an even deeper descent into a depressive state, accompanied by a feeling of shame and despair. In this book, four psychology experts explain why this is so, drawing on cognitive therapy and Eastern meditation traditions, and offer a simple but powerful technique for overcoming depression. The basis of this new technique is an attentive attitude to the most difficult emotional experiences and life experiences, which helps to once and for all break the chain of chronic dissatisfaction with oneself and one’s life. The book comes with a CD with a supporting meditation program led by Professor Ion Kabat-Zinna. Regain your hope and joy of life!
