Solomon may be my favorite nonfiction author. He write both beautifully and clearly, thoughtfully and intelligently. I especially love how he treats his subjects with kindness and honesty and all in the context of his own humility.

Here, he shares his own experience with depressions, the experiences of several other people he has interviewed, the history of depression, various treatments, the politics and insurance, and the social implications. Bonus points because he acknowledges the interaction/intersection of race and poverty with depression.
