Title: Half good/half bad
Review: The concept of valuing what makes us human and befriending our true selves is fascinating. Moore writes with eloquence and is thought-provoking, but he has obviously never suffered from depression (to which he devotes a chapter) and this raises doubt as to the credibility of the remainder of the book. Depression is not some kind of poetic melancholy or boredom. It is a deep pit of despair where reality is distorted beyond recognition. The only thing I have learned from depression is to fear and distrust it. I have retrieved this book from the trash because the final chapters intrigue me, but I will read it with skepticism.
