With the technological advancements and everything available just at the drop of a hat , one would believe that things have been better and moving with a progressive intent. But with all these gadgets entering into our lives and life altering its landscape at a rapid pace , stress has become a constant companion. And as they say one only fears something that he isn't aware of , it becomes frustrating at times when we don't know the underlying cause of the looming pessimism. In such situations, books like these act as an elixir.The author of this work is a renowned psychiatrist. So nothing can be better than knowing the secrets of living a fulfilling life directly from the horse's mouth. She has skillfully penned down her expert advices in well structured form. Like a dogged doctor, she has first of all tried to unearth the underlying cause of such recurrent situations where a person feels gloomy and depressed most of the times and only after a proper synopsis has offered words of wisdom .What I really liked about the book is her specific focussed pin pointed approach. General public is usually of the opinion that every depression is similar in nature and hence they treat it with "One Size Fits All" kind of theory. Whereas author has rightfully explained the different types and how to approach each of them practically. The best thing about such guides is they not only help you trudge on the path of recovery (if you have been a victim yourself) but also enlighten you with pieces of information that you never knew existed. Notwithstanding all these praises , I would still suggest people to consult a trained professional physically if you need medical attention and not rely solely on such books. They can act as a great support but not a wholesome solution .

This book is not just another self-help book; it's transformative to another level. The questionnaires, checklists, tables and note sheets are as if like a consultation with a professional, wherein you are getting insight into your symptoms, severity, as well as solutions to the problem. It took me a while to read (I bought it on the launch at Title Waves on 6th May 2023) and read it slowly and steadily everyday. I feel I want to read it over and over again so that I can completely absorb it and I sincerely advise other readers to do the same. It is a life changing book!

The book is a perfect self-help handbook with tips and techniques that can be put to daily use. It's very structured and the sections explain why sadness occurs, how thinking errors make you think wrongly and explains ways to get out of it. Very lucid, usable and applicable information. A must read for one and all.
