Episode 4 - Causes of Depression and Common Place Insanity - Part I

In Episode 4 entitled "Causes of Depression and Common Place Insanity - Part I," Steve, The Hopeful Humanist, will explore three resources for your Spiritual Tool box.  We will look at the Centre for Addition and Mental Health (CAMH) website, discuss some ideas presented in a book called "Lost Connections: Uncovering the real causes of depression-and the unexpected solutions" by Johann Hari (2018), and briefly talk about an online, six week free program avaialbe to residents of Ontario who are struggling with  chronic health conditions called Better Choice, Better Health based on a Standford University Workshop model.  Here I would like to provide a link to the cbc.ca website for an article about the relationship of money to happiness (http://www.cbc.ca/life/wellness/salary-sweet-spot-new-study-claims-that-this-specific-amount-of-money-actually-can-buy-happiness-1.4547201) and an article about NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozen's battle with depression ( http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/demar-raptors-fans-support-nba-star-depression-1.4573441).
