Product Description
For anyone who has struggled with depression or knows someone who has, take heart: mindfulness practice is a simple, powerful way to naturally break depression's self-feeding cycle. With The Mindful Way Through Depression, four internationally renowned researchers present insightful lessons drawn from both Eastern meditative traditions and cognitive therapy on how to triumph over this illness--and cultivate an abiding sense of joy that will allow you to keep from getting drawn back into the downward spiral. Nearly one in six Americans will experience clinical depression in their lives, yet many people don't know how to cope with this misunderstood condition. With The Mindful Way Through Depression, four uniquely qualified experts provide the answer to overcome the mental habits that lead to despair--and the keys to genuine change that lasts a lifetime. Note: Read by Mark Williams. Guided meditations by Jon Kabat-Zinn.

This text really has helped me to be able to see how letting my mind wonder and follow the same path all the time is an enormous part of the problem. Written in a way that allows you to understand it without the need to be a psychology egg-head. Teach yourself to slow down, enjoy life, and learn some REAL ways to beat your depression without the meds.

I struggled with depression for 15 years. I started getting depressed when I went to college and started living on my own with no supervision. I started drinking and began having premarital sex. These behaviors escalated as most empty, immoral behaviors generally do. My problems never got better, they only got worse. Despite knowing my behavior was wrong, I continued to live a sinful lifestyle. That all changed when I realized that I was a poor, wretched, hopeless sinner that deserved death from a just and holy God. Once you are broken and are deeply sorry for your wicked ways, and then ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness, then and only then can the grip of depression begin to release it's grasp.
Depression doesn't go away immediately. I didn't stop taking my medications. But what does happen is that you have someone to talk to about it. You also have God's Word to inspire you and lift you up. I find that the more I pray and read my Bible, the less influence depression has on me. I trust in Jesus and know that eventually I will no longer need the medication and will be "cured" of my depresison.
*** Please remember, don't stop taking your meds. I can't stress that enough. It's not that I am not sure of my salvation or "cure", it's that I am not sure of yours. ***
Remember, realize it's our sinful nature that makes us depressed.
Repent and turn away from your sins,
Relinquish control of your life over to Jesus Christ with all your heart,
Read your Bible and pray everyday.
God Bless!

This is a very good book. I would call this the "Asian Self-Help" vein. From this same vein I would also highly recommend Sarah Shikitao-Brown's book, both are good honorable books. Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety & Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition]
excellent November 22, 2008
