Etienne Payen’s book is like the ivory plate of this Sufi tale. He reminds us that any experience, even the most painful, has an end. Better yet, Positive depression is a true message of hope. Because, as Vaclav Havel wrote: “Having hope does not mean we believe things will go well. It simply means we believe things will have a meaning.” May the reader of this work find herein some landmarks to get through the experience of depression and uncover its meaning that will give direction to his life.
