Many argue that the world is a harsh place, and that it is the 
stresses and misfortunes in life that make people depressed, not 
their thinking style. Wrong! Countless people suffer misfortunes and 
do not get depressed or anxious, while others seemingly suffer no 
misfortune at all, and are blighted with depression and anxiety. The 
Stoic philosopher (and former slave) Epictetus opined that 'men are 
disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them'. A 
sentiment that is totally, completely and absolutely correct.
