Happiness is a Choice (1988)

This book seemed to be written more for a psychiatrist or psychologist rather than for the layperson, but it had some interesting points and was not too technical. It was interesting how the authors associated "happiness" specifically with depression; in other words, from their perspective they seemed to have the idea that a lack of happiness equalled a depressed person (or depression). Good (not great) book for the one struggling with depression. I would recommend Tim LaHaye's book, Depression, as a better book for the layperson. ( )

I thought this was a great book for providing some practical and hopeful advice as regards depression. I appreciated the theological and psychological integration. ( )

From back cover "Beyond descriptions of depression and its causes, symptoms, and treatments, Meier and Minirth offer basic steps and guidelines for recoverin and sustaining a happy, fulfilling and meaningful life."
