OK I got a little further through the book and I have to say that I am impressed with the section about depression. I have always felt that depression was cause by a "civilized" lifestyle and Wiley's discourse on the subject fit in well with my thoughts. My boyfriend suffers from "depression," which I think for him is really just not ecstatic happiness at all times of the day and night, and takes Zoloft, which I totally don't think is right. Dr's will pretty much throw this stuff at you. We are told that being tired or not finding pleasure in day to day activities means we are depressed. I think it means we are protesting an unnatural way of life forced on us by society. The chemical imbalance that prescribers of Zoloft and Prozac are talking about is brought on by our unnatural lifestyles. We don't need drugs, we need a break!!
Anyway I am starting to appreciate the book a little more but some things he says still seem like they are only loosely based on fact and research.
