Healthy breakfast, trying to think happy thoughts and get through the week...

This is a lovely little book based on the premise that depressive illness (stress induced depression rather than manic- depressive or bipolar disorder etc) affects people with a strong character because they take on heavier loads, again and again, until something snaps. Then it illustrates some ways to break that cycle.
