Description

I’m not going to insult your intelligence by saying your problems aren’t that bad. On the contrary I imagine that your situation may be downright awful, giving you every right to feel depressed. I can empathize with what you’re going through because I’ve been there myself. I know how horrible it is to feel bad most of the time, to have a life filled with negative results, and to feel powerless to change any of it. I’ll share a personal story about that in this book.

If you currently find yourself in such a situation, you have my compassion. But more importantly, I have a solution to share with you. I think you’re smart enough to know that there’s no shallow quick fix for what you’re going through, but there is a workable solution. Your depression is by no means permanent. This solution will work if you take the time to understand it and apply it, using whatever energy you’re still able to muster. This isn’t an all-or-nothing solution, so even a partial implementation will yield partial results. Best of all, you don’t even need to take any direct physical action. You can do the whole thing lying motionless on your bed.

The upside is that once you permanently overcome your depression, you’ll be able to use your experience to help many other people. So as difficult as it may be to endure right now, there may come a day when you look back on these times as a tremendous gift. That has certainly been true for me.

    This book brought me some clarity. I couldn’t understand how my depression had the hold it has on me and my situation is better than it was in the past. I was reminded of how I created a life in my mind and I never focused on my reality as much. Thank you for being this back to my forefront.

    Good read. Relatable. But thought I was buying a full 100+ page book for $13. Little disappointed in that. But your work has whatever # you choose it to have on it. I can only respect that. Thanks 4 the words.
  • GREAT BOOK!

    I’m honestly going through a rough time in my life at the moment, I’m 20 years old and I feel like I don’t know what to do with my life. But after reading this motivated me to be the person I want to be and leave the negative circumstances behind. Great book.
