In seven steps this book shows you how to take back control of your mind, your mood and your life. It uses mindfulness and self-compassion techniques along with innovations in neuroscience to release natural antidepressants in the brain. The secret to overcoming depression and uncovering happiness is in harnessing our brain's own natural antidepressant power and ultimately creating a more resilient antidepressant brain. This book is grounded in two key foundations: mindfulness and self-compassion and the book offers specific techniques for putting them into action.
