Personal Review: The Depression Book: Depression as an
Opportunity for Spiritual Growth by Cheri Huber
In "The Depression Book," Cheri Huber utilizes her knowledge of the
principles of Zen and especially Zazen (Zen meditation) to provide a
straightforward (although neither 'simple' nor 'easy') message to readers in
a format that is easy to follow and to read. I read this book over the course
of an afternoon and found it full of helpful, commonsense, practical advice.

There were a few passages that made me take offense, but as soon as I
had this emotional reaction, I realized that I was only offended because the
words were so true. The book is written from Huber to the reader (whoever
she or he may be) as though sitting down over tea or chatting on the
telephone. The illustrations and handwritten format make reading it a lark
rather than another chore.
If you're depressed or have a tendency toward self-judgment, do yourself a
favor and pick this book up. And practice the meditations it suggests. If
nothing else, try the journaling prompts and recall its words of wisdom the
next time you find yourself falling into despair. It's okay to feel what you
feel and to think what you think. The more space you allow yourself,
mentally, to be who you are, the more quickly you will find your feet turning
toward feeling just a little better. It's not about solving anything or making
anything go away. Huber reminds us that it is about being who you are.
