Idea/Concept: Condemning pharmaceutical approaches in handling depression, this practical guide to self-healing presents a commendable alternative to traditional medicine. With a strong case against accepted notions about treating sadness and despondency with drugs, the book adheres to a do-it-yourself plan of action to recover from what ails you.

Prose: Gentle, candid, and easy to absorb, much like meeting an acquaintance at a café for free-flowing conversation, then a bit of structured advice, the articulate manner in which the information is conveyed may be the book’s winning attribute. A remarkable personality emerges in a considerate mode of expression.

Originality: Depression is a popular topic, leading to the publication of countless self-help titles on the subject, each with a different angle. Every proposed strategy in dealing with such a complex and distinctly individual experience will fortify some but leave others floundering, yet this title does provide assistance comparable to its market competition, emphasizing the importance of not merely treating the symptoms.

Execution: An empathetic and knowledgeable doctor reaches out from the pages of this heartfelt text, approachable and friendly. His worthwhile common sense is a gem in the psychiatric profession….

It is estimated that 4-8 million people in the United States suffer
with Fibromyalgia. Another one million also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Some statistics state that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia
may directly affect 5% of the world's population.


I am one of the individuals in this growing epidemic. In 1997, after a
chaotic year of intense medical and psychological testing, I was diagnosed
with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. I spent much
of the last ten years in deep denial feeling alone, confused, frustrated,
and angry. It has taken me a great deal of soul searching, but I believe
that today I am a better, more centered person because of my experiences.


I've never been someone who dictates advice, so my book provides worksheets you can develop
to tailor your personal responses to symptoms and crises. It is the good, the bad, and the ugly
of my personal journey that I share with you, my fellow Fibromites. My hope is simple, that you
will find solace and renewed hope in my words.
