Dorothy Rowe es una psicóloga y escritora de renombre mundial cuyo trabajo ha remodelado nuestra comprensión de la depresión y la felicidad. Ofrece una manera para que quienes experimentan depresión tomen el control de sus vidas y abandonen su prisión para siempre. Rowe explica cómo cada uno de nosotros vive en un mundo de significado que hemos creado, aplicando esta visión a aspectos cruciales de la vida como el malestar emocional, la felicidad, el envejecimiento y las relaciones.

A superb distillation of the wisdom of one of Britain's most admired writers on the human condition, which gives insights and comfort on some of the most difficult aspects of identity and self-esteem, fear, depression and unhappiness, coping with people, power, agreed, guilt and selfishness and getting older.
Depression is the experience of a terrible isolation, of being alone in a prison. But by understanding how we build the prison of depression we can dismantle it for ever. Dorothy Rowe gives us a way of understanding depression, allowing us to take charge of our lives. She shows it is not an illness requiring drugs but a defence we use to hold ourselves together when we feel our lives falling apart. This bestselling book, now in its second edition, contains the stories of people who have left the prison of depression and changed their lives for ever.
Dorothy Rowe shows us how to live more comfortably and creatively within ourselves by achieving a fuller understanding of how we experience our existence and how we perceive the threat of its annihilation.
