Review
'Tony Bates, apart from being such a highly respected professional, has a wonderful rapport with our listeners. He has a particular empathy that communicates effortlessly on Radio, perhaps because, as he says in this excellent book, `I have battled through many a dark night of the soul myself'. -- Marian Finucane, broadcaster 'A powerful and erudite book, it is written in a clear style and will help many people; it's not just an essential manual for those struggling with depression, but also a road map for those seeking to find a path to a new and refreshed sense of selfhood.' -- Michael Harding, writer 'It is a very empowering book, making it clear that depression need never have power over us because we ourselves and only we have the power in our own lives' -- Sister Stanislaus Kennedy, visionary and social innovator 'Tony Bates invites the reader to begin, slowly and surely, to move through the darkest of times, through setbacks and false dawns, towards a genuine recovery'. -- Mark Williams, Director, University of Oxford Mindfulness Centre
