User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars For Anyone Who gets “Blue” in the Dark Days of Winter
The Winter Blues is an excellent guide for anyone who is affected by the darker days of Winter…it is very encouraging for anyone w/this often misunderstood malady & those who care for someone, who suffers through it. It is great to read that it can so simply be improved or reversed & that their quality of life can be restored so easily.

5 Stars Book review
My daughter in law uses a SAD light and they has helped her with the things surrounding the issue.

5 Stars this book changed my life
This book was SO, SO helpful to me. I could tell the author understands what I have gone through (or as another reviewer said, it was very validating). As a result of reading this book, I bought a good light box (I had been using a very bright lamp, but it did not put out nearly the amount of lumens as the box I now have) and started taking Welbutrin during the fall and winter months. These two things changed my life! I no longer dread winter (although I still don’t like it, especially the foggy weather the place I live is prone to) and, more importantly, I no longer go through the weeks of severe emotional pain where I prayed God would let me die. The very worst thing winter does to me now is a few weeks of being more tired than usual and mild blue days now and then.

I think the two people who gave the one star reviews don’t have SAD. It’s something I think you have to have to understand, altough there is a section in this book for freinds and family to read that is very good. As a person who has suffered severely from SAD, I can say the book is very good and HELPFUL.

4 Stars very imformative
Winter Blues, Revised Edition: Everything You Need to Know to Beat Seasonal Affective Disorder

I purchased this book along with the golite P1 box.

This book has alot of information about SAD. I like it because it is backed with scientific research on SAD.

It also includes a frequently asked question and answer section and some quick tests to score yourself.

An easy read and a nice accompaniment to the golite P1.

5 Stars Fantastic book - clear and concise
I enjoyed this book thoroughly and recommend it highly to anyone that suffers from SAD. Well organized, well written and very informative.
