One of your must reads
It maybe an old book (mentioning the great American depression more than once) but the information will never go out of date. As I stated it's not a light read but you get a history lesson, a self help and business book all rolled into one. It should be on the list of must read books in your lifetime.

Marin is lonely, she’s drowning in it. Her friend (maybe more) Mabel tries to save her from her loneliness. As the story goes alone we piece together a past Marin was unable to face. It was really interesting how inactive the actual sequence of events were, but it remained engaging through sporadically having flashbacks to Marin’s past.
Lovely story, kinda gay, depression and anxiety present and discussed.

I actually thing I like this better than they both die at the end now - after reading this it makes you think about your life - I mean, I was in his place years ago and it brought back so many memories - pushing past your fears/issues and moving into a new phase of life is so astounding sometimes - anyone with depression should truly read this book - it's absolutely spectacular.

Kristina (502 KP) rated Frozen II (2019) in Movies

I love Frozen and, while not as good as the first one (yet better in other ways), I love the second movie too! It does seem to touch on depression just enough that even my 9 year old was in tune with what they were trying to depict, but not so much that it was a turn off. The story, overall, was sweet and happy, with several life lessons hidden within.

3.5 stars
As I have mentioned before in another review I find it difficult to rate self help books. The reason for this is because I cannot state if the activities within these pages will actually work. Recovery from depression is a very long journey, longer than this book takes to read and so I can't really comment on if these theories work as I'm yet to delve deeper. I was struggling between 3 stars and 4 stars so I settled with a 3.5. Some of the terminology was a bit much to understand in places and I thought there was perhaps a bit too much repetition, also there were a couple mistakes which could actually offend some people. On the other hand, this book was filled with some great information. I have read a fair few self help books on depression and so I was surprised to come across some new information I didn't already know. I was able to discover more ways in which depression can take hold and actually found out I drastically need to change my diet...I never really thought about it before but after doing one of the exercises I discovered how poor my diet actually is. The meditation parts in this book were ok, easy to follow and understand but I'm yet to know if they will work. The journey of recovery will continue long after this book is returned to the library.
