I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Sometimes joy has to be a choice, and this was one of those weeks! I went to NYC with two friends, and the trip felt like 30% enjoying the city and 70% interpersonal conflict. So for this #5JoysFriday I‘m choosing to focus on the joyful moments!
1. Kayaking on the Hudson River
2. Wandering around Little Island at night, listening to some jazz and enjoying the views
3. Eating Smoked Pork Belly Ramen at Momofuku
4. Visiting the Met
5. Coming HOME
pickOne of the best books I read about suicide and grief. With a bit of humor and lightness this is the sad story of a family torn apart by the death of the eldest son, Kit. How can a family keep on functioning afterwards, is that even possible? The things being said and left unsaid, everything changed forever…
Rebecca Wait explores it all in this wonderful, heartbreaking novel in a way only she can.
pickVery useful self-help book explaining the role of cognitive therapy in fighting depression. With some practice, the recommendations can be applied directly by readers to change the patterns of thinking.
"Almost all negative emotional reactions inflict their damage only as a result of low self-esteem. A poor self-image is the magnifying glass that can transform a trivial mistake or an imperfection into an overwhelming symbol of personal defeat."
The worst happened. Halfway through this book, just in the middle of Jamie‘s letters to his father regarding the death of his brother Kit, I left it behind in a Japanese train….
I hope I can downland an ebook somehow when I‘ve got strong WiFi again.
The good thing is I already took this photo on the beautiful and spiritual pilgrims path Kumano Kodo.
pickDark, brutally honest. Expressive and impactful art. Thorogood uses a variety of styles and images to depict her struggles with suicidal depression and finding her way as a young adult and burgeoning artist/author.

pickI don't know how to properly review this. I feel like it requires multiple reads or a slow, contemplative one. Topics include suicide ideation, communication, depression, self-worth, relationships with self and others, creativity and creation. The art is wonderfully varied to convey different ideas. The narration is very meta and very personal, but I think the message is universal, especially post-2020, even if you don't struggle with depression.
