Wild Coin Hunting

The Recovery of Joy While Living with Depression

De: Robert W. Griggs

Narrado por: Andrew Winson

One man discovers a new hobby in his journey to recover from depression. In Wild Coin Hunting, Robert W. Griggs details his invention of a new sport, explaining how the rules of hunting “wild coins” also serve as practices to recover joy while living with depression. The result is a relatable narrative that balances humor with hard truths. Wild Coin Hunting dispenses with the well-worn tropes of self-help books, focusing instead on the return of pleasure and other recovery essentials.

This wonderful book is a first person, intimate account of the experience of, and recovery from depression. Using stories of heartbreak and hope, you are led to an understanding of depression, the loss of self-identity that goes along with it, and the healing power of relationships. As a clinician, I will share it with clients as well families of clients to support understanding and hope to a time of perceived hopelessness. – Dr. Jeffrey D.
