In this provocative and path-breaking distillation of a career spent
working with individuals seeking help with mood and motivation, Eric
Maisel reveals the implications of one of the era's most dramatic
cultural shifts. In recent decades, much of the unhappiness inherent in
the human condition has been monetized into the disease of depression
and related disorders. Maisel persuasively critiques this sickness model
and prescribes a potent new approach that updates the best ideas of
modern psychology. The result is a revolutionary reimagining of life's
difficulties and a liberating model of self-care that optimizes our
innate human ability to create meaning and seize opportunity -- in any
circumstance.
