John Moe brings you one of the best inspirational books of this year. The book talks about depression from a different light, taking accounts of tragedies from his life. As Moe tries to cope up with depression he realized the same behavioral patterns amongst other people around him. He realized that humor has a unique power of healing and comfort and thus his podcast under the same name was born.
His powerful narratives depict the universal themes of depression, the tragedy of suicide, how important it is to self-care, and the heredity aspects of this mental disease in his book.
