I too just finished The Wishing Year and found it to be uplifting as well. I really did enjoy it.

It's deep in places, or at least I thought so. But I like that in a non-fiction. Make me think...I dare ya. You know?

I have already recommended it to two other women as I felt that it would or could be a possible catalyst out of their depression. It's just one tool towards the process though, so don't take my recommendation as a "fix." I don't want to "oversell" it.
