This book is about depression and anxiety — and what you can do about it. It could as easily be titled Pills, Skills, or the Will? It deals not only with anti-depressant drugs, and anti-depressant skills, but includes an anti-depressant will or lifestyle therapy. Drugs can cause side-effects and collateral damage.

As a bilingual translator and Biblical scholar, I am able to make Chouraqui’s work accessible to English speak...

And it is true that, many times in the course of history, they have been nearly decimated: when the First and Second Temples were destroyed, when the Jews were expelled from Spain, when Hitler proposed his Final Solution. Astoundingly, the Jewish people have survived catastrophe after catastrophe and remained a thriving and vibrant community. The question Rabbi Jonathan Sacks asks is, quite si...
