That this book is about Surviving Depression with Art Therapy as the subtitle suggests is really secondary to the inspiration it affords. Liberally sprinkled with four-color images of artwork and photography that will make you smile, this book is about being happy.

Though even the casual reader may notice that the formatting, design and editing are not perfect, I beg anyone who is suffering from depression (and others seeking happiness) to not let that dissuade them from absorbing—and appreciating—the heart within. The world is not black and white only. Those who miss the beauty because they are caught up in being judgmental might very well miss much joy in life. This colorful, bright, smart and helpful book would be one of them. Listen to the anecdotes, the voice (the song!) of the author and heal thyself.
