Some other books I've found interesting and insightful on depression and the way the mind/body work are:
"In the Jaws of the Black Dogs -- A Memoir of Depression" by John Benetley MaysA writer in one of Canada's national newspapers, The Globe & Mail, commented aptly: "The only contemporary account of depression I know of, with the possible exception of William Styron's "Darkness Visisble", that actually conveys the rawness and pitilessness of the disease...Fierce and terrific..." The author is a Southerner who moved to Canada, and as depressing as Toronto can be in the summer and winter, he brought the beast with him and came to grips with it there..
"Finding Flow - The Psychology of Engagement with Everyday Life" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (try repeating that quickly three times :), for pronounciation tips and some great, ever-changing quotes and other info. on the same check out:

Very interesting book, based on a lot of research. The author is a professor and former chairman of the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago who has devoted his life's work to the study of what makes people truly happy, satisfied and fulfilled.
And last but not least, an interesting overview of scientific theory and its applications can be found in: "The Owner's Manual for the Brain -- Everyday Applications from Mind-Brain Research" by Pierce J. Howard, Ph.D.Some useful, interesting and very applicable research outlined in this book in a simple, digestable and usable manner.
