Book Review

If you wonder what the word “depression” means and why it should matter to you or perhaps have experienced an existential crisis you will want to read Leilani’s review of Eric Maisel’s Rethinking Depression for “Books Cover2Cover,”  a thought-provoking and conversation-worthy wordpress blog by Sandy Squire.  Leilani’s review will be part of a new feature, Short Takes, a place where guest reviewers will post short reviews with “meaningful social and cultural value.”

Leilani will host Dr. Eric Maisel and his new book, Rethinking Depression.  Follow Leilani’s blog on April 24th for an insightful and hopeful discussion about depression.

Dr. Maisel writes:

“If we can begin to move from the “depression is a mental disorder” model to the idea that human beings must deal more effectively with the realities of human existence, including the realities of sadness, despair, and grief, we will have taken a giant step away from “medicalizing everything” and toward lives lived with renewed passion, power and purpose.”

If you or someone you know suffers from depression, you won’t want to miss this event. You might be surprised by the discussion and perspective that Dr. Maisel presents about how and what we think of depression.

You might find some answers for yourself or someone you love.
