Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness
by William Styron

List Price: $10.00
Our Price: $8.00
You Save: $2.00 (20%)


"In 1985 William Styron fell victim to a crippling and almost suicidal depression. That Styron survived his descent into madness is something of a miracle. That he manages to convey its tortuous progression and his eventual recovery with such candor and precision makes this a rare feat of literature, a book that will arouse a shock of recognition even in those readers who have been spared the suffering it describes." -- Amazon.com Editorial Review


I Don't Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression
by Terrence Real

List Price: $15.00
Our Price: $12.00
You Save: $3.00 (20%)


"When Terrence Real was studying to be a therapist, he accepted the notion that women suffered depression at rates several times that of men. Now he believes that conventional wisdom is wrong, that there has been a great cultural cover-up of depression in men. Real is convinced of the existence of a mental illness that is passed from fathers to sons in the form of rage, workaholism, distanced relationships from loved ones, and self-destructive behaviors ranging from stupid choices at work and in love to drug and alcohol abuse." -- Amazon.com Editorial Review

This is one of the best scientific autobiographies ever written, a combination of clarity, truth, and insight into human character." -- Amazon.com Editorial Review
