"This edited collection from 13 different contributors provides a multidisciplinary, multicultural, and 'encompassing perspective' on sadness and depression. ... They deepen our understanding of depression by providing thoughtful explanations within the framework of ideas such as resilience, personality types, biological predisposition, and neurochemistry. ... the book is quite accessible and discerning, and I appreciated the editors' desire to inform the debate by respecting contrasting opinions."
