Healing Depression The Mind-Body Way, is a practical guide to creating happiness and warding off the clouds of depression and anxiety. The book provides a useful "how-to" --- following some very basic and common sense steps that are based on practical medicine and universal truths and methods that have been developed and vetted over centuries. The mind-body way isn't gimmicky, mystical nor doctrinal. Rather, it is a step-by-step guide to mental and physical health and well-being, written for the masses. This is a must read for anyone interested in the subject or desiring to overcome the chains of depression.

Dr. Nancy Liebler and Sandra Moss's book is an ideal resource. It is a very readable application of the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda medicine to the problem of depression. I found their delineation of the three types of depression and the subsequent discussion of particular healing approaches to each one, illuminating. Beyond that, the authors offer many extremely useful suggestions about ways to create inner peace and well being by integrating Yoga, proper breathing techniques, meditation and diet. This book is not only about healing depression, it is about living a better life! <br /> <br />Bela Chopp, Ph.D. Rating: 5 / 5 As a therapist, I am always looking for books that will help my patients find new insights about themselves and better ways to deal with toxic stress in their lives.

Very informative, even bought copy for friend. One of a few books that changed my life. I work in high stress accounting dept. Work stress combined with crashing economy in 2008-2009 was REALLY getting to me! Chiropractor was re-aligning my spine but stress still impacting my body on daily basis even with regular exercise, which I did not understand prior. This book helped me to changed my view, opened my eyes and helped me to really tune into my body. If you are at that point - read this book & practice it regularly at first, once you get accustomed and tuned in, you can adjust routine as needed. Rating: 4 / 5 I ordered this book few months back.

I especially appreciate the direct language used in explaining the application of Ayurveda for mental health. The authors did not insulate themselves through the language of Ayurveda, as so often I have seen in other books of that discipline, but wrote in undertandable language to make the book most readable for the general audience. As a Psychologist for almost 30 years, I can assure you this book is on the top of my list for recommended reading to my patients. It is one we all want to have on our coffee table as a constant reference.

It is based upon Ayurveda, which is a traditional mind-body medicine in India- the main theme here being that nature and the mind-body are aspects of a single continuum of intelligence. But whether you buy into that or not, it makes little difference, because the book has some great strategies for treating depression, addressing such issues as... <br /> <br />-meditation <br />-how you breathe <br />-exercise <br />-yoga <br />-sleep <br />-what you eat <br /> <br />As you can see, a lot of areas are covered, which are bound to help a lot of people. So, if you're looking for natural solutions for depression, I'd have to say that this is a very good place to start. For readers wanting to know more on how to specifically use exercise to treat their depression, I can also recommend Exercise Beats Depression as a good resource. Good Luck!
