Depression is the world's most common mood disorder, and it is spreading like a viral contagion. You can't catch depression in the same way you catch a cold, but the latest research provides overwhelming support that moods spread through social conditions, defining depression as more a social problem than a medical illness. Our social lives directly shape our brain chemistry and powerfully affect the way we think and feel--and our brains can change for the better with healthy social circumstances as much as they can change with medication. Drugs may address some of depression's symptoms, but Dr. Yapko convincingly argues that we need to treat depression at its root, by building social skills and improving relationships, in order to halt the spread of this debilitating disorder. Filled with practical exercises and illustrative examples, his groundbreaking plan guides readers to identify key social patterns that reinforce depression so they can learn the skills to overcome depression and even prevent new episodes from occurring.

Provocative and controversial as well as prescriptive and hopeful, Depression Is Contagious investigates the social phenomenon of depression's epidemic-like spread while offering a more realistic road to recovery.

Great shape
Format: Hardcover
Book is in great shape. Took a while to get here but in great shape. Could have taken off the $1.99 good will sticker. Kind of made me feel like I was ripped off.

simplemente magnífico
Format: Kindle
Siempre he creído en el efecto placebo, pero ignoraba el placebo era yo y esto cambia todo, pues el cambio viene de adentro, no se requiere un estímulo externo. El Dr Dispensa explica de manera científica cómo es que nosotros somos el placebo. Este tipo de validación científica será muy valiosa para los que buscan eso, yo prefiero experimentarlo y ver los resultados. En mi caso, tenía un ataque de gota horrible en mi dedo del dedo gordo del pie izquierdo y en cuestión de días ha mejorado increíblemente, sin medicamentos, solo cambiando mi estado del ser, maravilloso ! Súper recomendable el libro.

EL INICIO DE UN VERDADERO CAMBIO
Cuando terminé de leer Deja de Ser Tu, quedé sorprendido e incluso, llegué a pensar : “es el mejor libro que he leído”, sin embargó, llegó este libro y fue el complemento perfecto. Lleno de mucha información, tan clara como elocuente, el Dr. Joe Dispenza nos enseña que la vida de nuestros sueños está más cerca de lo que creemos. Eso sí, no crean que todo es rápido y sencillo, requiere de un trabajo previo y concienzudo. Regálense el gusto de leer tan enriquecedor e invaluable libro.
