This bookis aimed at anyone

suffering mild to moderate episodes who would like to help themselves

get better using natural anti-depressants.

After all, happiness is not a

spectator sport.

The textexplains key strategies to

help you not only overcome depression but alsoreduce the chances of it

occurring or recurring. As such, it acts as both prevention and cure. As you practise the simple yet highly effective exercises, you

will find your mood lifting, your confidence, resilience, positivity and

strength growing, and your outlook becoming more optimistic. These

strategies come from a combination of the author's professional

knowledge and practice, and her background as someone who has suffered

from depression herself.

Miriam begins by explaining the core

principles of Positive Psychology - what it takes to feel good, function

well and flourish.

She then goes on to focus on how the

scientifically-grounded techniques of Positive Psychology, such

aslearning to savour positive events, practising gratitude, playing to

your strengths and learning optimism, can help to prevent visits from

the dreaded 'black dog' and, ultimately, allow the sun to shine on your

life once more.
