As a sufferer of mental health issues, I’ve been repeatedly told to try mindfulness. This book pokes fun at it, but in a tasteful way.

This was both haunting and beautifully written, with Styron talking about depression both as an observer and as a sufferer. He didn’t deal with depression until he turned sixty, but when it did kick in, it kicked in big time. As a sufferer of depression myself, I thought he handled it tactfully and in a way that rang true to my own experience. This is definitely recommended by me.
