7 Chaves para vencer o desânimo e a depressão

Synopsis of 7 Chaves para vencer o desânimo e a depressão

It is practically impossible to date the beginning of a depression. The event that apparently triggers it—a breakup, a death, or a dismissal, for example—may be nothing more than the straw that breaks the camel's back. Often, discouragement has already set in and depression has been latent for years. It is necessary, therefore, to understand its process and, above all, the method to get out of it. To achieve this, the author invites us to reflect on our true needs, with the help of great thinkers and philosophers, such as Plato, Euripides, Epictetus, or Jean-Paul Sartre, among many others. He reveals how important it is to understand our behavioral functioning, both on an emotional and sentimental level. He leads us to rethink the definition of the word 'love', meditating on the poems of Kahlil Gibran, or adopting the thesis of Spinoza, who argues that true love gives us joy, unlike a false love story, which prepares the ground for discouragement or, worse, for depression. Through personal development work or rational analysis, it is possible to heal pain, sadness, or fear and rediscover the joy of living. A seven-step method, original and easy to put into practice, which has proven its effectiveness.
