Having worked with several hundred people with depression over the course of my career, I have always sought stories to help them make sense of their experiences. I am really pleased to now have Jacs' story in my toolkit. I will be recommending Jacs' book to individuals and families to help connect them and guide them through their depression hole to find their light again.
This book feels like a warm, witty chat with a friend who actually gets it. This isn't your typical self-help book - it's practical, relatable and genuinely uplifting. Jacs combines humour, empathy and lived experience in a way that's refreshingly human. This is the book that I needed, and still need sometimes when life feels impossible. It's written with the kind of humour that someone who has survived depression can immediately recognise and find a strange amount of comfort in. I'd recommend it to anyone who has been touched by depression in any way.
I'm familiar not with depression but its close kin, grief, and this engaging, personal, practical guide to finding a way through to a full and sustainable life strikes more than a few chords.
