Maybe I don’t get a ton out of this book bc the author repeatedly says her approach is useless for people with depression (as well as literally any obstacle in their lives). The “just be happier!” chapter was everything well-meaning people have told me to get un-depressed: try yoga, meditate, eat right & exercise, just be happy!!! Maybe that works for healthy people but seriously, who among us is healthy???

Oh by the way she was elected to the COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS. Literally what the fuck kind of charmed life is this???
