Returning to Joy

Rabbi Joshua Mark, Ph.D., brings us the good news about depression in his sensitive, down-to-earth, and practical new book — Returning to Joy: A Self-Care Guide to Overcoming Depression. Returning to Joy is a major breakthrough for the religious community. This informative and eye-opening book addresses the painful issues and symptoms surrounding this potentially crippling illness. Presented in an easy-to-read format, this self-care guide gives invaluable advice to treat and overcome depression, and dispels many of the myths and stigmas of the condition. In citing many references from Torah literature, Rabbi Mark has indeed had a great mitzvah in presenting important information in a way that will be acceptable to Torah observant people. — Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D.
