## Resource

Tim Desmond's new book, Buddhist Practices for Overcoming Depression, the second release in his profound Buddhist Practices series. In this accessible resource of hope, Desmond weaves together early Buddhist psychology and the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh to explore how depression grows from patterns of self-criticism, shame, and learned helplessness—and how these patterns can be shifted. This visionary guide offers depression recovery support through interwoven teachings on loving-awareness, impermanence, and wholesome mental formations. Desmond breaks down how to recognize the energy of difficult emotions, and how to cultivate connections and joy to strengthen resilience when readers need it the most.
