I don't like to read about other peoples depression "success" stories either, makes me jealous! I have been reading more "self-help" type books (usually only on "good" days). A couple of them struck me as really horrible though. That "Life Strategies" thing, (Phil Magraw, I think) just felt like I was being beat up! Like no matter how much I tried to improve, it would never be enough unless I did every single thing, exactly the way he described, to effect change. There was no sense at all of encouragement for "trying" to do things. Anyway, I ended up feeling worse, so advise against it!
Any suggestions on better books like this?
