Mindfulness for Black Dogs Blue Days

In Mindfulness for Black Dogs and Blue Days, Richard Gilpin shares his on-going journey with his 'black dog' (the term memorably coined by Winston Churchill to describe his depression), shedding light on this often misunderstood subject. Frank personal anecdotes and therapeutic insights reveal how we can find a path through depression and how mindfulness can create that path. Also included are short, original contributions from other established experts in the field of mindfulness.
