Abraham Lincoln On Melancholy

“The hope is not that suffering will go away, for with Lincoln it did not ever go away. The hope is that suffering, plainly acknowledged and endured, can fit us for the surprising challenges that awaits.” - an excerpt from Lincoln’s Melancholy: How Depression Challenged a President and Fueled His Greatness, by Joshua Wolf Shenk.

My father in law Dr. Jeff Rubin is a human being that I deeply respect. In his retirement one of his greatest passions along with long walks and watching the Yankees, is his Blog:

From Insults To Respect - A Guide To Anger And Conflict Resolution

So many valuable resources and conversations are included in From Insults To Respect and the post linked above about Mr. Lincoln and his experience with depression is one of my all time favorites. Thank you Joshua Wolf Shenk and Dr. Jeff Rubin for these connections.
