Synopsis
At the moment of his greatest professional success, vetteran newspaperman & author of this book was struck by a crippling depression. Neither psychotherapy nor Prozac helped him, & it wasn't until he began a painful probe of his life & an investigation into depression's larger issues that he saw a way out. Not a depression memoir, Finding Hope in the Age of Melancholy uses the author's personal experience to launch a profound & inspiring exploration of the depression epidemic in our society. Weaving literature, philosophy, economics, religion, & medicine into a discussion about the roots of our barren culture, the author comes to provocative conclusions. He shows how the nature of our society is often as much to blame for depression as brain chemistry is, how depression can be a positive goad to creativity & deeper self-understanding, & why religious belief & community involvement are often more potent therapies than drugs & the analyst's couch. This is a deeply helpful & illuminating book for all who are looking for meaning in their lives, Offering a rich cultural history and a sharp critique of millennial America, this brilliant and illuminating book weaves literature, philosophy, economics, religion, and medicine into a discussion about the roots of our barren society, showing how nature is often as much to blame for depression as brain chemistry.

    Envío rápido y bien embalado, aunque el estado de la motocicleta no era nuevo como lo ofrecido en el anuncio...ni en su empaque correcto. Se observaban rayones y desgaste provenientes de uso no muy cuidadoso y tuve que reparar con pegamento. Tal vez podría haberlo advertido en su anuncio, pues las fotografías no permitían ver esos detalles.
