Psychiatrist Sharp (Harvard Medical School) provides a guide to understanding how seasons, events and anniversaries work together to affect human emotions.

In simple, concise language, the author examines how seasonal changes, along with environmental factors—light and dark, hot and cold, wind and storms—can impact moods and behavior…

Sharp’s great strength is his genuine concern with moving beyond definitions and fostering awareness in readers about their own emotional calendars…

Sharp offers an interesting and original way to think about the underpinnings of psychological health.

Perceptive and useful.
