About this audiobook

From Depression to Contentment: A Self-Therapy Guide is a course of therapy in your pocket. You can be your own therapist, changing the way you see yourself and your world. Not only does this save lots of money, it also is 100% confidential. The book starts with first aid, provides an understanding of the nature and causes of suffering, instructs you in research-based techniques for dealing with your problems and, finally, teaches you an actual cure for depression. Every tool in this book is based on research, but presented in an easy to understand, easy to apply manner. With homework assignments, you will find your inner strengths, uncover the true source of happiness and develop great resilience. Learn how to put the philosophies of all great religions to practical use, even if you are an atheist. This program can help you start a new life - one of meaning, positivity and purpose. Unlike instructional books, this book is not only useful but also enjoyable. "If you're depressed and need someone who 'gets' you, who has been there and who can walk you through the journey toward a life worth living, then From Depression to Contentment will be your new best friend. Bob meets you where you are and can lead you home to yourself." -- Petrea King, CEO and founder of Quest for Life Foundation "Combining his personal and professional experience, Dr. Rich offers a valuable self-help tool for those seeking additional insight for coping with depression. The suggested exercises are easy to follow with an explanation of what they are helping with. And he does it all with a great sense of humor woven in." -- Chynna T. Laird, author of Not Just Spirited: A Mom's Sensational Journey with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) "Dr. Bob Rich has created a simple and direct guide to beat back depression for good. Put forth in easy to digest bits, the approach uses small, effective steps to move past the overwhelm of depression." -- Diane Wing, M.A., author of The Happiness Perspective: Seeing Your Life Differently "The essential message of the book is that you can beat depression by improving the quality of your thinking, your behavior and your life. Overall, a wonderfully refreshing and practical self-help guide to healing from depression and living a fulfilling life." -- Beth Burgess, psychotherapist, author of Instant Wisdom, The Happy Addict, and The Recovery Formula "Depression can be turned into a positive and can actually enrich our lives if we just try. It is not easy to acquire the skills and the knowledge necessary to learn to cope well and to recover, but this book will make the effort easier. Specific interventions - like guided imagery and mindfulness meditation - are suggested and explained. All-in-all, this is a valuable manual on how to live well with depression and acquire the right skills and knowledge that will tame the depression to a point where the person will live well without being affected by symptoms." -- Alfredo Zotti, author of Alfredo's Journey: An Artist's Creative Life with Bipolar Disorder
