About this listen

In this no-nonsense guide for men, psychologist Jonas Horwitz presents straightforward, jargon-free strategies to help you identify and overcome depression, once and for all.

The damned thing about severe depression is that it takes over your brain, body, and spirit. It wants you to say to yourself, "There is nothing I can do to make myself feel better. I am helpless in the face of my problems." Even at this very moment your severe depression is whispering in your ear, "This is all bulls@#t." Your depression has lived with you for a long time and has seldom left your side. It's relentlessly pessimistic and wants you to believe that your misery will never end. These are the lies your depression is wanting you believe.

With this unique guide, you'll learn why it's so important to take your severe depression seriously - just as you would if you had cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or any other life-threatening illness. In addition, by viewing your depression into a separate entity - The Beast - you'll discover how it tries to trick you when you are most stressed to do things that leave you feeling much more depressed.

You'll also learn how changing your behavior can actually change your brain chemistry. And, most importantly, you'll find actionable solutions to put The Beast in its place so you can start feeling better now!

In order to overcome your depression, you must understand its nature. This book will help you understand The Beast, stop feeding it, and take back your life.

Critic reviews

"This wonderful book is a treasure trove filled with gems of meaningful, important information and guidance.... The 'no-nonsense' language cuts through the haze of jargon and technical talk, offering an accessible road map to remission and recovery." (Robert N. Golden, MD, Dean of the School of Medicine and Public Health)

I have read a number of books on depression and found this one to be the most helpful. The metaphor of calling depression the “beast” was helpful in making it clear that it’s not you that’s the problem. Most of the advice given is extremely practical. The book is also of a readable length.
