The Little Book of Beating the Blues

This look at the blues shows us that the worst thing we can do is try to fight them. The author suggests that resisting depression - or anything else you don't want - actually sustains it and that compassionate acceptance of your feelings and yourself leads to freedom. Through simple exercises and meditations readers learn to open up to emotions, both good and bad, because, according to the author when you open yourself up to pain you also open yourself up to joy.
