Recovery from depression books

[BlueDotsRain]

I'm looking for a book that is very practical on recovering from depression with reminders about not doing too much, rediscovering simple pleasures, maybe some positive reminders and a little reflection / work book exercises.

Any suggestions?

Don't know of any books to recommend (I'm sure lots exist!) but one small, free, thing you can do is to actively look for glimmers.

Glimmers are those little things we see, hear, touch every day but don't notice because we're too busy looking for the opposite - triggers. So that bird singing in a tree, that child giggling, that daisy gamely pushing through a gap in the pavement, that old couple walking in tandem. You get the picture. Once your mind realises you are interested in these little moments of pleasure it will fire up the Reticular Activating System to actively seek out more and bring them to your attention. It's the part of your brain which filters out stuff we don't need to pay heed to and filters in the stuff we decide is important.

HTH!!

I love this tip.
