From the Back Cover
Depression and pessimism have been around since the Stone Age. But as the psychological and physical stressors of modern life have steadily increased, the healing mechanisms of our ancestors have virtually disappeared. As a result, depression has reached an unprecedented rate in today's society. Many are cut off from what makes us truly human a network of supportive people, rewarding work, interaction with nature, and a connection to the sublime. But now there is a revolutionary new approach to overcoming depression that has proven far more effective with a 94 percent success rate based on follow-up questionnaires than drugs, psychotherapy, or both combined.

Based on the authors' more than twenty years of research and practice sponsored by the University of South Florida and a recipient of a grant from the distinguished Ford Foundation, Creating Optimism offers a unique, seven-step program, challenging the conventional wisdom that healing occurs from the inside out. It shows that real change comes from building healthier relationships with others, our own bodies, nature (including other animals), and spirituality. The program can be used either without medications or in conjunction with them and includes new techniques and insights for mind/body healing, including movement exercises that significantly combat depression and anxiety by stimulating the brain to learn new ways of thinking.

Drawing upon the latest research in neurobiology, psychiatry, and fascinating evolutionary psychology, the authors lay bare common myths about depression what it really is and what causes it. Here you will discover:

-The real secrets of how to feel increasingly good about yourself and achieve more in every aspect of your life
-Proven techniques for identifying and changing dysfunctional behavior
-A step-by-step process for establishing and maintaining healthy relationships
-Valuable charts, written exercises, and self-tests that help identify behavior patterns and remove obstacles
