Join the Library and Politics and Prose bo okstore for a conversation with Dr. Judith Joseph. Those of us with High-F unctioning Depression (HFD) usually don't act the way we think a depressed person might. On the surface\, we seem fine: We are succeeding at work\, pulling our weight at home\, and carrying on with our typical social life. Yet behind that mask of productivity we are barely surviving\, and certai nly not thriving. And we may have no idea why\, or what to do about it.
\nIn \;High Functioning\, Dr. Judith Joseph draws on original rese arch\, client cases\, and her own personal struggles with HFD to demystify this poorly understood condition. Her five simple tools--the Five V's--wi ll help you understand the science of your happiness and empower you to re claim your life and joy.
\nBy following the Five V' s\, we can put an end to self-sacrificing and self-sabotaging\, calm our i nner turmoil\, and go from merely functioning to truly living.
\nBoo ks will be available for sale and signing through Politics and Prose.
