It's the first book on depression that we vibe with at all, and that's precisely because the subtitle, "freeing yourself from chronic unhappiness", implies that what is also called depression can be described as chronic unhappiness. Thus, the book is not about "managing your symptoms" or anything else that makes us run away screaming, it's just about existing and feeling, and maybe, as a byproduct, feeling ok sometimes. Which is much more ok with us.
