In his landmark new book, Defeating SAD, Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal, who first described Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and is
the foremost authority on the subject, offers an up-to-date guide to
overcoming the miseries that millions experience with the changing
seasons.
In his lively style, Rosenthal offers advice on how to identify, treat
and overcome both winter and summer varieties of seasonal affective
disorder, as well as the less severe, yet bothersome, winter blues.
Having pioneered the use of bright light therapy for SAD and
relying on his decades of experience treating SAD patients, Rosenthal offers strategies and techniques for defeating the condition,
including cognitive-behavioral approaches, diet and exercise advice,
medication, and meditation.
Dr. Norman Rosenthal is the author of Poetry Rx released last year to
rave reviews including:

  • The New York Times The Well Book List of 8 Favorite Books in
    2021 for Healthy Living
  • The subject of a New York Times op ed by Jane Brody

SYNOPSIS

A must-read dark fantasy debut for fans of “The Witcher”, woodland survival guides, the gruesome original Grimm Brothers stories, and dark folklore from around the world…

A journey into the wild woods with a character who just needs a break—and the terrible things that stare back at her.

When curious nomad Anna hears about Whisperwood, a town that’s not on any maps, that nobody goes to, and nobody comes from, she sees an opportunity to hide from her violent witch-hunting ex.

But not everything is peaceful in the isolated community. A vanishing town, a gruesome funeral rite, an emergency field surgery—these surprises and more test Anna’s resolve.

Prevented from leaving the frontier settlement by folk magic she doesn’t understand, Anna lends helping hands everywhere she can, but quickly finds that investigating the forest too closely could end up being the last thing she does.
