A nuanced psychological portrait of Abraham Lincoln that finds his legendary political strengths rooted in his most personal struggles. Giving shape to the deep depression that pervaded Lincoln's adult life, Joshua Wolf Shenk’s Lincoln’s Melancholy reveals how this illness influenced both the President’s character and his leadership. Mired in personal suffering as a young man, Lincoln forged a hard path toward mental health. Shenk draws on seven years of research from historical record, interviews with Lincoln scholars, and contemporary research on depression to understand the nature of Lincoln’s unhappiness. In the process, Shenk discovers that the President’s coping strategies—among them, a rich sense of humor and a tendency toward quiet reflection—ultimately helped him to lead the nation through its greatest turmoil.A New York Times Book Review Editors’ ChoiceSELECTED AS A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Washington Post Book World, Atlanta Journal-Constituion, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteAs Featured on the History Channel documentary Lincoln “Fresh, fascinating, provocative.”—Sanford D.

I have read biographies of Lincoln and generally stay away from books focusing on one aspect of his life. This examination of his depression or melancholy, however, seemed interesting. True to its subtitle, the book discusses how depression was a challenge to Lincoln throughout his life. This is not based just on anecdotal evidence, but draws upon psychological sources to suggest possible diagnosis. The author understands that any such diagnosis is flawed, but discusses the likelihood of Lincoln being chronically depressed.More than that, the book shows that although he never overcame depression, he was able to find a way through it. This not only brings new insight into Lincoln's greatness, but offers insight for those suffering today. The book addresses the history of depression and how it was treated medically, how it was dealt with in Lincoln's life, as well as viewing Lincoln's depression through what we know now. It's an inspiring and informative book.
