The Depression Advantage

In The Depression Advantage, Tom Wootton reveals his insight about the surprising advantages of the depressive state, with the view that people with mental conditions can lead extraordinary lives.

Tom has developed an entirely new system of representing the broad spectrum of emotional states experienced by people with mental conditions. His revolutionary ideas about redefining functionality and scale provide a powerful set of tools for those looking to turn their perceived 'illness' into a vehicle for a rich, fulfilling and successful life.

Drawing from historical and literary examples ranging from the lives of the Saints to Buddhist parables to pop culture heroes like the X-Men, The Depression Advantage demonstrates that physical, mental, emotional and spiritual pain can be a catalyst for personal growth and transcendent understanding.
