What an amazing book. I did a double take when I saw the cover as this is exactly how I healed my own depression and addiction, via yoga, meditation and ayurveda, and this was before I read the book! I purchased and love this reference book and am thrilled someone has put this method in writing. I HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone working with depression and or addiction, or needs help themselves. I can categorically tell you that it works!
BRAVO to Dr. Nancy Liebler and Sandra Moss for the most practical, yet in-depth, how-to-book I have read on the application of natural healing modalities for depression. I especially appreciate the direct language used in explaining the application of Ayurveda for mental health. The authors did not insulate themselves through the language of Ayurveda, as so often I have seen in other books of that discipline, but wrote in undertandable language to make the book most readable for the general audience. As a Psychologist for almost 30 years, I can assure you this book is on the top of my list for recommended reading to my patients. It is one we all want to have on our coffee table as a constant reference.
