I'm recommending this to all my coaching clientsSeptember 1, 2008 I cannot recommend this book enough! Aside from the fact that I have found it personally life-changing (the simple heart-brain breathing exercise in the first chapter is worth many times the cost of the book on its own), I have, in the past few months, recommended it to many of my life coaching clients. They have all been delighted with it too.
Everyone should read this book, whether depressed or not!April 14, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a brilliant book. The balance of advice is excellent, from medical to common sense to alternative therapies, this man has a really sound outlook on life. It's not just psychological advice either ~ the chapters about doing voluntary work, exercise and nutrition are very helpful too and are important factors often forgotten by people looking for more complicated answers. It confirmed some ideas I'd read elsewhere and gave me new ideas also. If you're wavering about whether to buy this book or not, don't hesitate, buy it! It's well worth the money and time to invest in your wellbeing and life.

Exceptional. A colossus who bestrides both Eastern and Western medicine. This sort of thing the world needs in more than one area. Now's the time. As the great Rabbi Burns* was wont to remark (to many a maiden), If not now, when?

I think this book is a must for every adult reader. If everyone read it and used the self-help tools inside its covers, then the world would be a happier place - and they would feel happier too.

Still only half way through the book, however I am finding it both fascinating and enlightening. Assuming that each example David uses is factually correct, this book has to be a recommended read for all physicians and patients alike. It seems to me that the traditional/drug based methods should be used only in severe cases, and all of these ideas should be tried first.
For years alternative therapists and practitioners have applauded the use of one or more of these techniques, and may be a book like this can help enlighten the practise of mental healing and cure many many people.
