Title: Understanding is the first step to healing
Review: Peter Kramer helps us understand our level of human suffering. There are not many of us who have never felt depressed. The first step is to accept that depression is not a bad thing. It is a warning that you must deal with it or it will grow deeper and deeper within.By acknowledging our depression we are taking the first step to healing. By not acknowledging we escape into drugs, alcohol, food, sex and many other addictions.Pain is part of the human condition, we cannot erradicate pain 100%. One must learn to live with painful emotions and go beyond the ego and acceptance leads to letting go. This is not burying your pain but making it part of your human journey.Other books for your consideration:The Problem of Painby C.S. LewisThe Pain of Being Humanby Eugene Kenneday
