"For all those who have struggled with depression", a book from some of today's best teachers: The Mindful Way through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness.

The Mindful Way Through Depression by Mark Williams, John Teasdale, Zindel Segal and Jon Kabat-Zinn pairs mindfulness with the treatment of depression, "a simple yet powerful way of paying attention to your most difficult emotions and life experiences without obsessing over them. It can help you break the cycle of chronic unhappiness once and for all." The authors explain why the usual attempts to "think" one's way out of a bad mood or just "snap out of it" lead instead into a deeper downward spiral.
