The Mindful Way Through Depression, Second Edition

Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness

The revolutionary program that has helped hundreds of thousands of readers find relief from chronic unhappiness is now in a revised and updated second edition.

This authoritative, easy-to-use self-help program is grounded in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, a clinically proven approach. The expert authors explain why our usual attempts to "fix" sadness or "just stop thinking about it" can actually worsen depression, instead of relieving it. Through vivid stories and guided audio meditations narrated by Jon Kabat-Zinn, this program shows how you can break the mental habits that lead to despair--and recover a sense of joy, aliveness, and possibility. The second edition features fresh insights on coping with the challenges of our ever-changing world, the latest scientific data, and meditations guided by Jon Kabat-Zinn.
