Book Challenges Current Thinking on Depression Tom Wootton, author of The Bipolar Advantage, has just announced the release of his second book, The Depression Advantage, a stirring and sometimes controversial look at the depressive condition and its potential benefits for depressed people. Wootton is the founder of Bipolar Advantage, a company dedicated to spreading the message that people with mental conditions can lead full and productive lives. The Depression Advantage is an audacious departure from the accepted doctrine and canon of literature on depression. The book celebrates the advantages of spiritual, personal and social growth possible through the experience of depressed states and challenges current thinking on depression treatment.
Drawing from historical and literary examples ranging from the lives of the Saints to Buddhist parables to pop culture heroes like the X-Men, The Depression Advantage demonstrates that physical, mental, emotional and spiritual pain can be a catalyst for personal growth and transcendent understanding.
The Depression Advantage redefines the scale of functionality for depressed people; teaching them how to reach inside their pain to find a place of spiritual peace, understanding and growth.
Mr. Wootton's first book, The Bipolar Advantage is a revelation. It is one man's journey through the darkness and light of the bipolar condition to a place of spiritual joy, functionality and excellence that holds lessons for everyone with a diagnosis of bipolar.
Raw, honest and brazen, The Bipolar Advantage draws its examples from the real-life experiences of its author,other people with a bipolar diagnosis, and those who have relationships with bipolar people. Pulling no punches, Tom Wootton paints a realistic picture of the bipolar condition in its many faces, then gently guides the reader through the steps necessary to lead an introspective life that greatly ameliorates those symptoms, with the ultimate goal of helping bipolar people gain control of their lives.
Ultimately, The Bipolar Advantage will stand as a guide book for those who don't want to accept a diminished view of their lives after a diagnosis of bipolar. It's a road map to wellness and strength that will stand the test of time and the changing winds of popular bipolar treatment modalities.
