The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek. For the last two years, I've interviewed more than 200 world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview.

It is pain and nothingness at once. When you are truly depressed you lack the ability or will to cheer yourself up. Even with all our scientific advances, depression remains one of the most mysterious mental illnesses. In this profoundly insightful work, Om Swami categorizes depression into three types to help you see how a different approach is needed to cure each type.

Most of us are unable to develop our capacities for love on the only level that really counts — a love that is compounded of maturity, self-knowledge, and courage.
