"The Untroubled Mind" by Herbert J. Hall profoundly speaks on the topic of mental health and the issues we may face with depression and anxiety every day. The sorrows of our past may greatly contribute to today''s fears, but in the state of depression our perception around us is very small.As Mr. Hall states in his Preface: "A very wise physician has said that "every illness has two parts-what it is, and what the patient thinks about it." What the patient thinks about it is often more important and more troublesome than the real disease. What the patient thinks of life, what life means to him is also of great importance and may be the bar that shuts out all real health and happiness. The following pages are devoted to certain ideals of life which I would like to give to my patients, the long-time patients who have especially fallen to my lot."In this book we are given a challenge to let go of worry, and to make more head space for prayer, not to ask God for relief of our physical or mental agony, but simply for the peace that comes from knowing and loving our Creator.
