What do simple algae, hibernating animals, and humans have in
common? They all have internal rhythms that respond to the seasons.

treatment of seasonal depression, illustrated with fascinating
anecdotes and stories and delivered in his compulsively readable
and eloquent style.' - Richard A. Friedman, MD, Department of

Blues is a wonderful book. It is deeply knowledgeable from a
scientific perspective, as one would expect from one of the world's
leading authorities on mood disorders, but it is also a delight to
read. Dr. Rosenthal writes beautifully about the human side of the
seasons and our profound beholdenness to light, while at the same
time providing an invaluable guide to handling the seasonal
depressions that affect so many individuals.' - Kay Redfield
Jamison, PhD, author of An Unquiet Mind and ExuberanceI consider
Winter Blues to be the SAD bible. Dr. Rosenthal's brilliant
research and words of wisdom have provided the nurturing help that
so many people have sought when the change of seasons brings
sadness instead of joy. This book is 'must' reading. - Pamela
Peeke, MD, MPH, FACP, author of Body for Life for Women and Fight
Fat After Forty'Wonderfully written and full of vital information
by an unequaled expert on the subject. I wholeheartedly recommend
it to anyone who, like myself, has the winter blues. Read and heed
Dr. Rosenthal's advice. It can change your life.'- Jean Carper,
columnist, USA Weekend, and author of Miracle Cures'The light
therapy that Dr. Rosenthal recommends has made life worth living
during December, January, February, and March for 14 years. I take
care of my family, feel like a valuable person, and am a productive
professional. Now his new chapter, 'Winter Light,' gives me a
recipe for [i]celebrating[/i] those once-dreaded months.' - LaDonna
