Now in his landmark new audiobook, Defeating SAD, Rosenthal, who first described Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and is the foremost authority on the subject, offers an up to date guide to overcoming the miseries and that millions experience with the changing seasons. In his lively style, Rosenthal offers advice on how to identify, treat and overcome both winter and summer varieties of seasonal affective disorder, as well as the less severe yet bothersome winter blues.

Having pioneered the use of bright light therapy for SAD and relying on his decades of experience treating SAD patients Rosenthal offers strategies and techniques for defeating the condition, including cognitive-behavioral approaches, diet and exercise advice, medication and meditation.

Rosenthal’s warm and friendly professional style will leave the listener feeling as though he has been treated to a consultation with a consummate professional, who has fascinating insights into the condition.

Light therapy pioneer Rosenthal offers an all-in-one resource aimed at those suffering from seasonal affective disorder...An extensive primer covering basic SAD knowledge and new developments in diagnosis and treatment . . .  He does an admirable job in making his subject not only relatable, but compelling, charmingly dropping in quotes from William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, and Emily Dickinson to drive home certain points.Kirkus Reviews
