'This humble little book shows you a science-based pathway through your depression, one healthy step at a time. It asks you to end the ceaseless debates inside your head and instead to learn how to focus on what works, learning and then practising small skills of openness, awareness, and values-based action over and over until they settle in as a new habit of living. If you are tired of waiting for your life to start, pick up this little workbook and begin.'
Steven C. Hayes, originator and co-developer of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Foundation Professor of Psychology, University of Nevada, Reno

Depression affects some 300 million people in the world today and some 1 billion will experience an episode in their lifetime. The Little Depression Workbook provides clear evidence-based guidance and practical skills that can help people recover from depression. More than this, it is written with compassion, inspiration and a sense of common humanity; antidotes to the isolation, low motivation and self-doubt that cruelly act as barriers to recovery. Depression is a journey not just out of darkness, but also into the light. This book provides a route map for living life well with and beyond depression.
Willem Kuyken, Ritblat Professor of Mindfulness and Psychological Science, University of Oxford

'Depression isn't just about feeling sad: it can rob us of motivation, patience, clarity and our sense of purpose. Those make it even harder to start turning things around. The Little Depression Workbook offers the perfect approach for this situation: brief as well as thorough, clear as well as evidence-based, purposeful as well as practical & about real change as well as understanding.

'Depression is a terrible experience to live through. Gradually, sometimes suddenly, life drains of meaning. The slightest commitment can feel like a mountain to climb. It can feel as if there's no end in sight and it can be hard to see that a meaningful life is still possible, yet it is. In fact, it's because a meaningful life matters so much that we can feel so empty when it loses meaning. This book will show you how to gradually rebuild a meaningful life through the well-validated ACT approach. You'll learn how to distance from your mind's gloomy stories, receive your pain with kindness and nurture, and through meaningful action, build a life worth living. Simple, engaging, effective. This book has all that you need to lift you from depression.'
Benjamin Schoendorff, founder of the Contextual Psychology Institute in Montreal, and co-author of the Essential Guide to the ACT Matrix.
