Transforming Depression: The HeartMath Solution to Feeling Overwhelmed, Sad, and Stressed

by Doc Childre, Deborah Rozman, Frank Lawlis (Foreword)

Transforming Depression argues that the prevalence of depression today results from the frenetic pace of modern life. A constant sense of being overwhelmed, fatigued, and stretched to the limit leads us to feelings of hopelessness and a lack of interest in normally pleasurable activities-the principal signs of depression. By using the HeartMath(r) techniques, readers will be able to tap into new reserves of energy and creativity and will find new ways to connect with the people in their lives. As a result, feelings of depression will lessen and dramatic change will take place for better health in mind and body.

Great book, very similar to Transforming Anxiety essentially the same material. Very helpful I didn't mind reading three similar books from them (I also read HeartMath soluation) because they were so good. Very helpful to me when I needed it. Great that it actually has exercises you can do. Very simple exercises but kind of hard but very worthwhile. Highly recommended for those needing help.

عندما لمحت اسم الكتاب قررت قراءته على الفور دون أن أقرأ عنه شيئًا، ظننته يحمل في طياته مساعدة لي لكنني لم أستفد منه بشيء. قد يكون ملائم لشخص لا يعرف شيئًا عن الاكتئاب أو مقدار اكتئابه أبسط، ربما يكون أكثر فعالية إذا أستخدم بالإضافة إلى العلاجات الأخرى.

*قرأته صوتيًا ولم أسمعه كله، تجاوزت النقاط التي أعرفها مسبقًا.

لا نجوم له.

اللغة والكتابة جيدات.

ذكر الكاتب بالمقدمة أن من لديه اكتئاب شديد فليلجأ إلى المختصين، ثم اعطانا أمثلة لاشخاص مع اكتئاب حاد ومزمن استخدموا ادوات هارت ماث وتحسنوا فالأدوات كانت ذات نفع أكبر من الأدوية؟؟

صحيح التفكير والتحكم بالتفكير مهم جدًا لكن التحكم بالمشاعر هذا شي لا يملك الإنسان كامل السيطرة عليه. وحلولهم هي للسيطرة على المشاعر مثل تحريك العضلات.

بارجع اقراه مره اخرى لعل فيه فائدة أكبر.

الكتاب يشبه جداً أسلوب التنمية الذاتية فهو عبارة عن مجموعة من الخطوات أو الحلول وضعها "هارت ماث" ومن المفترض أنه في نهاية الكتاب وبسيرك على الخطوات سيساعدك هذا على تخطى مرضك والتعافي منه.
الكتاب جيد في المجمل إلا أني لا أفضل هذا النوع من الكتب.

While I don't struggle with depression, I am married to someone who does...and have children that may. Great info so far.

Finished the book yesterday- The HeartMath Institute has compiled some very good, user friendly procedures to accelerate emotional healing, "Heart Coherence", in many different areas, not just depression, although that is the focus of this volume. The approach has scientific backing, and I'm sure the methods will become more widely used, because they are effective...and true. Most of the techniques could be considered guided "pondering" and "meditation", with the heart as the focus. When a self-help technique is focused on love, forgiving, humility, and listening to the "still small voice" in which the heart speaks...it has some pretty solid footing. I gained some great perspective and added to my healing technique tool-belt. 169 pages, not long, writing seems a little repetitive at times, but lots of homework and techniques to learn and try. Includes an inspiring forward by Dr. Frank Lawlis Ph.D., who taught Dr. Phil and is featured frequently on his show.

Another superstar book in the Heart Math series. This one is more subjective as it tries to teach the importance of love as a primary value of the heart, a key ingredient to transforming depression. It teaches how to cultivate love in a step-by-step way.
