Feeling Terrific

About the Book

If you've ever experienced depression, you know how difficult it can be to recover. Even after treatment, the moodiness, low motivation, negative thinking, or communication troubles can come back. That's because current treatment methods generally focus on a single dimension, when life is multi-dimensional and complex.

* Explore biological strategies to improve your physical and emotional self

* Identify cognitive strategies that will change the way you think

* Recognize ways to interact socially to enhance your well-being

* Learn how spirituality can make life more meaningful

* Set goals to help you refocus, re-think, and rediscover a life of "feeling terrific"
