Happy Holidays: How to Beat the Holiday Blues (Life Enrichment Series) - Softcover

Are holidays really the happiest time of the year? Possibly yes. But for many people holidays can be the unhappiest times of all.

There are many valid causes of "holiday blues." The authors examine possible responses to common holiday-related pressures, such as emotional burnout from busy schedules, financial and personal stress, loneliness, idealized memories and expectations, and wintertime depression (seasonal affective disorder).

Dealing realistically with the fact that holidays often fall short of their billing as shining memory-makers, this book offers practical, biblical ways to overcome the pressures and make holidays a genuinely happy time.

Psychiatrists and popular authors Frank Minirth and Paul Meier are officers of the Minirth-Meier Clinic in Richardson, Texas. Don Hawkins is a popular public speaker and coauthor of several books.
