Critic reviews

Light therapy pioneer Rosenthal offers an all-in-one resource aimed at those suffering from seasonal affective disorder...An extensive primer covering basic SAD knowledge and new developments in diagnosis and treatment . . . He does an admirable job in making his subject not only relatable, but compelling, charmingly dropping in quotes from William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, and Emily Dickinson to drive home certain points.–Kirkus Reviews

The facts

I recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about SAD, Dr/author has given much to the industry and this is a must read

Help found for SAD

I liked the detailed explanation of treatment options. The realization of prevalence and how many people suffer in silence due to the ever present stigma of anything involving mental health. Time to focus on well being.

Highly Recommend

If you or anyone you know wants to learn more about the causes, symptoms and treatments for seasonal affective disorder, this is the perfect audiobook. Read by the author himself, Dr. Norman Rosenthal, the premier expert in the field, he covers everything from light therapy and lifestyle changes to dietary adjustments and mindfulness techniques. His friendly and compassionate tone make this book a pleasure to listen to and learn from. I highly recommend it.
