Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
To a depressed person, the prospect of reading a book or enacting its recommendations can be overwhelming. Author John Preston kept this in mind when he conceived his book. In Lift Your Mood Now, he offers chapters that can be read in five minutes or less, with techniques that are easily implemented. The book is divided into seven parts that cover understanding depression, stabilizing the brain, avoiding negative thinking, combating low self-esteem, managing intense emotions, reducing withdrawal and isolation, and being true to oneself.

I really like the way this book is formatted. It makes it easy to read any segment and not feel overwhelmed by overly wordy text. The topics are grouped under the following topics:
Stabilizing Your Brain & Biology
Reducing Negative Thinking
Combating Low Self-Esteem
Understanding & Managing Intense Emotions
Staying Connected & Avoiding Relapse
Then under each topic the information is easy to acess under heading like Bright Light Therapy, Dietary Solutions, Your Positive Activity Diary, The Role of Exercise, etc.
When feeling down, it's hard to think how to change the situation. This book offers "simple things you can do to beat the blues."
Rated by buyers -
This is a great little guide for anyone suffering from depression, or their family members. It offers up many practical tips backed by the latest research on brain/biology links to depression. It also discusses how to overcome negative thinking, low self-esteem, and emotional traps that contribute to depression. I took a neuropsychology course from the author, a renowned depression expert from California. Dr.Preston really knows his stuff, but also knows how to write in an easily understandable fashion. This book is written in such a way that someone suffering from depression can actually read and enjoy it, and apply the advice right away. A terrific guide book worth its weight in gold. Highly recommended.
