Synopsis "Dark Nights of the Soul: Reflections on Faith and the Depressed Brain, Second Edition (in English)"
2019 WINNER: WRITER'S DIGEST SELF-PUBLISHED EBOOK AWARDS, CATEGORY NONFICTIONThe first edition ebook won first place in a Writer's Digest contest. This new edition, whether in ebook or paperback, contains the material of the award-winning book plus additional material: a dedication, foreword, acknowledgements, and a bonus essay I'm calling "The One Thing: The 5,000 Most Important Words I Have Ever Written (So Far)." Dark nights of the soul happen at the intersection of faith and depression. In 2000, I was diagnosed with clinical depression. I had been living with a depressed brain my whole life and didn't know it. How many more people are walking around sad, irritable, and cynical, and don't even know why? Or maybe they have a reason, but it hits them harder than most people.How many more feel this underlying sorrow and think it's normal? How many more think they can't be (or shouldn't be) depressed, because a personal relationship with Jesus is supposed to make you immune to it? I started a blog in 2015. In this book, I've collected the posts that speak to recovery from depression. The book includes: - A look inside the mind of someone with clinical depression- 4 Principles for Recovery (that came from hard experience)- Understanding the voice of the depressed brain (and how to fight back)- 22 scientifically proven ways to help cope with and alleviate depression- How faith and religion can either help or hurt your recovery- Resources for finding professional help.Recovery is one day at a time. After twenty years of one day at a time, I can say a happy and fulfilling life is possible, even if your depressed brain colors everything in gray.
