Fending off Suicidal Thoughts, (Hardcover)

How do you get into the mind of a mass shooter? For that matter, how do you get into the mind of anyone who's dealing with suicidal thoughts? And how much can we learn about the thought processes of regular people by studying those who are most violent toward themselves and others?

Uncovering the mystery of emotional and psychological processes is a daunting task, and Walter Koti in this book examines the minds, hearts, and souls of those who are unhappy with themselves and find out what makes them tick. In the process, the author shows us how we can better understand the flaws in our own thinking by looking at the flaws of those far unhappier than ourselves.

Many solutions have been offered for those dealing with personal unhappiness, spiritual dissatisfaction, loneliness, and a host of other human ailments. Walter Koti digs through them all, covering everything from the Bible to the ancient Greeks, and from psychiatry to economics, to find the right solution to the problem of suicidal ideation
