Daniel, a Wellington King’s Counsel, describes his journey of depression with humour, wisdom, and philosophy — he sought more than wellness platitudes to manage these struggles. His book connects strands of philosophy from Stoicism and Buddhism, and draws from writings by George Eliot and Iris Murdoch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a manual for how to ‘get well’. It’s for the many people in careers like Daniel: the high-fliers and the driven who don’t stop to smell the flowers, then hit the wall and wonder how to get over that wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaniel’s book can help people see there is no ‘cure’ as such, that they need to embrace this part of them to understand they can still live an enjoyable and successful life. Life is not all about running for the next prize, because what comes after that? Another prize? And then another? And what does that make you, in the end?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn elegantly written book that will be an enormous help to many who wish to find a way through the fog to once more follow their North Star.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n  \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview extract from 'At the Bar', December 2024, by Michael Heron, KC\nKalderimis's writing is enriched by his personal reflections. He describes how his depression felt like a form of constriction, making it harder to breathe and speak.\nZest reaches a level of quality of research, insight and writing that Daniel Kahneman or Malcolm Gladwell would be proud of.\nI found his discussion and ultimate return to existentialism resonated with me.\n\"...no longer pushing against the webs of connection but trying to find ways to reach along them by being more open to the vibrations of possibility and love.\"\nIn conclusion, \"Zest\" by Daniel Kalderimis is a learned and eloquent exploration of the human condition. It is a book that invites readers to reflect on their own lives and consider how they might cultivate a deeper sense of connection and purpose. Through his thoughtful analysis and personal reflections, Kalderimis offers a vision of what it means to live well.\nLike others who have read it, I was moved by the book and ultimately reassured that each of us have permission to choose the meaning of our lives. Like Daniel, we can carry a compass, not a manifesto.\n* Michael Heron KC is a KC based in Auckland and former Solicitor-General. He is one of New Zealand's leading KCs and is a trusted legal advisor to New Zealand businesses, government entities, and public bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n  \u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align: center;background-color: #8CB490;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781738583669\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUgly Hill Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUNKNOWN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 November 2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebooks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align: center;background-color: #8CB490;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDaniel Kalderimis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor more information on our shipping policy follow \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/folders.co.nz\/pages\/delivery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ethis link\u003c\/a\u003e and for our returns policy \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/folders.co.nz\/pages\/online-returns-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eclick here.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n    ","brand":"Bateman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47349693874413,"sku":"9781738583669","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0541\/2565\/8281\/files\/Zest_Climbing_From_Depression_To_Philosophy_1.jpg?v=1756209778","url":"https:\/\/marstonmoor.co.nz\/products\/zest-climbing-from-depression-to-philosophy","provider":"Marston Moor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
