How we feel physically and mentally can make or break us. Dr. Bob Rich understands this and has the experience and expertise to solicit his advice unto our eager ears. In his book, “From Depression to Contentment: a Self-Therapy Guide,” Dr. Rich digs into the topic of depression and helps the reader make sense of this debilitating issue. “From Depression to Contentment” lives up to its promise by being very thorough in explaining every way in which depression can take hold of your life, and then teaches the reader how to take back control of their life to ease their symptoms. Dr. Rich’s book is a self-help book, providing the necessary information for the reader to be able to apply it to their own life in order to live a happier, more fulfilling life.

Everything about depression that Dr. Rich says in his book makes sense, is informationally correct, and can be easily done by any reader, as long as they are willing to put forth the effort. Anything that needs fixing in our lives requires some work, and depression is far from the exception. I appreciate how he covers the expanse of influence that depression has on a person’s life, but then also provides solid and attainable goals to work toward.

I also appreciate the extra resources through websites and book suggestions to add to our knowledge on this subject. He writes with a mostly positive and personal tone so that the reader can’t help but feel that they are sitting in his office, receiving his expert help in person. I say “mostly” above because the reader will find some of his personal beliefs interspersed in the text that might not be a shared opinion among everyone.

“From Depression to Contentment: a Self-Therapy Guide,” by Dr. Bob Rich should be known and read by everyone to help reduce the number of cases of depression around the world.

What happened since the honeymoon?

  • Are you mad at your partner all the time?
  • Do you feel like your partner is selfish?
  • Do innocent conversations suddenly escalate into arguments?
  • Does your partner misinterpret what you say?
  • Do you feel emotionally distant from your partner?

    If you answered YES to any of the above questions, this book was
    written for you!


    For more than 40 years, Dr. Rugel has observed how quickly spouses
    feel disregarded in marriage and respond in a manner that upsets the partner.
    Their tranquil interactions then spiral into an unpleasant argument or
    into emotional distancing. Based on concepts from family systems theory,
    Dr. Rugel guides the reader through the process of recognizing and avoiding
    these destructive patterns, thus helping to bring the relationship back
    to harmony. In this book you will:


  • Learn why spouses get stuck in repetitive, useless arguments.
  • Explore why your partner might perceive you as the enemy.
  • Discover the behaviors that commonly threaten our partners.
  • Determine what you need to work on to improve your marriage.
  • Conquer your own defensive/self-protective tendencies.
  • Recover the friend and lover your partner used to be.


    Therapists' Praise for Taming Marital Arguments


    "Dr. Rugel offers a thoughtful and practical approach to acknowledging,
    assessing, interrupting, and redirecting destructive patterns of marital
    communication while honoring the dignity of the individual by
    respecting past life experiences which influence each partner's underlying
    beliefs, assumptions, and thought processes."

    --Holli Kenley M.A. MFT, author, Breaking Through Betrayal: And Recovering The Peace Within
