In this book, you can feel that Matt has a deep knowledge of what he writes about. From personal examples to what has worked for him—solutions are provided. Everything is contained in this small book. It addresses depression, an illness that affects everyone differently. It's easy to read, but the topic itself is not easy to digest. It hurts to feel the same way as what is written in front of you. On the other hand, it is so satisfying to read that you are not alone in these feelings.

This is also the book you should read if you don’t typically enjoy reading but are struggling with depression. It’s short and written in a non-traditional style, with very short sections (usually 1-3 pages), making it accessible even if you don’t have much time to read. It’s kind of the perfect book for this topic.
