Embark on a heartfelt journey with us as we welcome Alastair Stern, author of "Longing for Joy: An Invitation into the Goodness and Beauty of Life." In today's episode, we navigate the challenging landscape of depression, guided by a personal narrative that sheds light on the simmering presence of mental health struggles and the path to healing. The discussion highlights the crucial role of medication, therapy, and the development of new habits like gratitude and movement in overcoming these challenges. Alastair inspires us to see joy as a slow, intentional process of growth, akin to spiritual sanctification.
