​Are you going through a period when things feel “off”? Do you struggle to find joy in happy moments? Are you walking around feeling numb? Do you feel restless when you aren’t busy or empty when you are sitting still?

​We all know what can’t-get-out-of-bed depression looks like. But there’s another, lesser-known side of depression that is hidden: High-Functioning Depression (HFD). In High Functioning, Dr. Judith Joseph demystifies this poorly understood condition.

​Reading Rhythms is hosting a reading party to celebrate the release of Dr. Judith Joseph’s new book, High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy.

​With your ticket, you’ll receive a copy of High Functioning and the opportunity to hear from Dr. Judith (books will be shipped if you purchase a ticket within two weeks of the event).

​Bring any book you like, prepare to meet readers and authors, and join this one-of-a-kind reading party.

​Learn more about High Functioning:

​The first book to unmask the hidden face of depression. If you look fine on the outside but don't feel fine on the inside, learn five tools to break the cycle of High Functioning Depression and experience more joy in your life. In High Functioning, Dr. Judith Joseph draws on original research, client cases, and her own personal struggles with HFD to demystify this poorly understood condition. Her five simple tools--the Five V's--will help you understand the science of your happiness and empower you to reclaim your life and joy. By following the Five V's, we can put an end to self-sacrificing and self-sabotaging, calm our inner turmoil, and go from merely functioning to truly living.

​Doors at 6:30 PM, Books open 7:00 PM.
