NetLibrary: The Career Clinic Eight Simple Rules for Finding Work You Love
by Maureen Anderson
AMACOM Books, 2008

Since the Baby Boom generation, we have been raised with a sense that self-fulfillment is one of our inalienable rights—yet most of us probably do not love our work. As the longtime host of a radio show devoted to helping people find careers they love, Maureen Anderson has often invited listeners in to hear firsthand accounts of people who not only relish their work, but live without regret.

Filled with warm-hearted advice and practical encouragement, The Career Clinic urges readers to follow their instincts, get in touch with what gives them joy, and discover a way to make their greatest talents and interests a part of what they might come to only grudgingly refer to as “work.”

PsychiatryOnline: Coping With Depression From Catch-22 to Hope
by Jon G. Allen, Ph.D.

Distilling years of experience in educating psychiatric patients and their families about depression, Jon Allen has written a practical book that addresses the challenges depressed patients face on the road to recovery. Allen advocates approaching depression by focusing on the importance of hope, and he helps patients understand depression through two simple ideas: catch-22 and stress pileup.

Coping With Depression is written for a general audience, including depressed persons and their family members, as well as professionals seeking a readable integration of current knowledge that they can use to educate their patients. Although written in nontechnical language, the book provides a sophisticated and comprehensive understanding of the psychological development of depression, the neurobiology of the illness, and the full range of evidence-based treatment modalities. All material is buttressed by extensive references to theoretical, clinical, and research literature.
