Excellent Book!

A hilarious book that sees the humor in depression. Whenever I feel bad about being depressed, I read this book for a laugh.

One way to Laugh!

I noticed greeting cards by the artist Yolanda Nave and loved the sweet and sad sack like characters. I tapped her name in an internet search because I wanted to see more of her drawings. That's when I discovered her "Blues Book." Loooooovvvveeed it! The drawings are so dear and funny that I was giggling out loud! Really! It's amazing how how her character and her writing captures all the facets of trying to beat the blues. It's almot like Charlie Brown, no matter what her little character does something always goes against her optimism.I am going to buy a few copies of this book and send to friends. Between the humor and the illustrations it's a great lil' book!

What a great book!

I came upon this book purely by accident. I'm so glad I did! Each page is a cartoon drawing, noting a suggested activity for "beating the blues." And each drawing is just such a laugh-- an exaggerated version of what the author suggest you do. You cannot remain in a funk, flipping through these pages.

This book proves that laughter MAY BE the best medicine

I picked this book up tonight and was amazed at how these insightful and true to life sayings and delightful drawings captured what having the blues is like for a woman! It is a wonderfully funny book! I am in school to get a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and, frankly, this book scares me- it may put therapists out of business! I intent to buy several copies and send them to friends who have been or are currently experiening the blues. I say, buy it, enjoy it and give it to your favorite counselor or therapist!
