Shawn Achor: 我曾经经历过两年的抑郁症，那段时期我感到迷失，甚至对生命漠不关心。我通过写日记来记录我的感受，当时我写道，我不记得快乐，也不认为会再快乐。但后来我发现，抑郁症不是故事的结局，生活是可以改变的。通过培养积极的习惯，例如写日记、锻炼和感恩，人们可以逐渐走出抑郁。有时候，抗抑郁药可以帮助人们达到能够开始这些积极习惯的状态，从而重拾行为的重要性。采取积极的小步骤，并看到效果，会更容易继续前进。 Oprah Winfrey: 我也经历过抑郁，那是在我为电影《Beloved》工作了十年之后，但票房并不理想。我通过祈祷、保持感恩、与信任的朋友交谈等方式，最终走出了困境。我知道我不会永远抑郁，因为我拥有更大的世界观。拥有精神信仰与更高的幸福感相关联，因为他们更容易获得人生的意义。
