JAVIER SALINAS

(Morelos, Mexico) Master in business administration with a specialty in finance, entrepreneur, a survivor of severe depression, and author of the book "From the bottom" (A look inside depression), I write since 2020 with the aim of helping people to overcome adversity, understand themselves better and motivate themselves to fulfill their life project.

For several years I suffered from a severe depressive disorder that led me to a very dark mental and emotional state that threatened my health and my life. After overcoming this disease, I realized how difficult it is to discover it, accept it and even more so, do something about it. That is why I wrote a book in which I share my emotions, thoughts, and behaviors during my depression, to help potential patients and their families to detect the disorder and act accordingly.

The constant effort not to fall back into a depression made me devoted to motivation, exercise, a healthy diet, and constantly setting goals, but the most important thing was discovering that my true life project is the development of my own being. In other words, my life project is myself.
