Aprašymas

What would happen if a clinically depressed person embarked on a quest to not only overcome her condition, but discover the key to sustained happiness? Well, Lana Penrose did just that. After going through a divorce and moving countries three times, she returned home to Australia and buckled like a soldier on a battlefield. The black dog bit, and it bit hard. Lana was diagnosed with major depression. Finding herself at a desperate crossroads, she took a sharp left and chose to fight for her happiness, star-rating her experiences along the way.

'The Happiness Quest' is a self-help memoir that is raw, real and funny, and covers what the journey of tackling depression is really like. Using herself as a human guinea pig, Lana tries almost every conceivable therapy: CBT, schema psychology, EMDR, acupuncture, meditation, medication, mindfulness, naturopathy, compassion, forgiveness, NLP, EFT, kinesiology, gratitude, visualisation and shamanism. If it was legal, she tried it, including pit-stopping for a fireside chat with a close associate of the Dalai Lama.

Unbelievably, it worked, and the results were beyond her wildest imaginings. Open, warm and wise, 'The Happiness Quest' is for all depression sufferers, therapists and happiness seekers alike.
