A POWERFUL BLUEPRINT TO ACHIEVE LIFELONG HAPPINESS A revolutionary new approach to beating depression through lasting, supportive relationships This breakthrough book describes a revolutionary new approach to overcoming depression that has proven far more effective (94 percent success rate based on follow-up questionnaires) than drugs, psychotherapy, or both combined. Based on the authors' more than 20 years of research and practice, and sponsored by the University of South Florida, this unique, seven-step program challenges the conventional wisdom that healing occurs from the inside out. It shows that real change comes from building healthier relationships with other people, our own bodies, nature, and spirituality. The program can be used either without medications or in conjunction with them. Drawing upon the latest research in neurobiology, psychiatry, and evolutionary psychology, the authors lay bare common myths about depression--what it really is and what causes it. They arm readers with:  Proven techniques for identifying dysfunctional behavior and changing it  A step-by-step process for establishing and maintaining healthy relationships  Valuable charts, questionnaires, and self-tests  Powerful mind-body healing techniques and exercises that restructure neural pathways in the brain and allow for new, healthier ways of thinking
