Book Description

To overcome depression, it helps to know the facts. Depression is a medical condition and not laziness or a temporary response to normal grief and/or discouragement.Symptoms of DepressionA major depressive episode is defined as experiencing five or more of the following symptoms every day (or most days) for two weeks or more:1) Depressed or irritable mood2) Sleep problems (i.e., sleeping too much or too little; sleeping mainly during the day)3) Change in interests (i.e., not being interested in what you used to enjoy) or low motivation4) Excessive guilt or unrealistically low self-image5) Significantly low energy and/or change in self-care (i.e., not showering anymore)6) Significantly worse concentration (i.e., a sharp decline in grades or performance)7) Changes in appetite (i.e., eating too much or too little)8) Agitation or severe anxiety/panic attacks9) Suicidal thoughts, plans or behaviours - including self-harm (i.e., intentionally cutting or burning yourself)10) It's important to remember that not everyone who is depressed is suicidal. You can still seek help even if you haven't demonstrated any specific suicidal or self-harm behaviours, or even if your symptoms aren't as severe or persistent as the symptoms noted above. WHAT NEXT?Buying this book is the best action to take right now.Social distancing is critical to containing COVID-19 - but it may create negative emotions in some people. Specifically, social isolation can cause feelings of loneliness. Here also includes some ideas about how to overcome those feelings during this time of face-to-face isolation or distancing.Many people are compensating for a lack of social contact by seeking out electronic connections (social media, FaceTime, Skype). That's fine, but it's important to avoid sources of negativity found online or in the media. An important question to ask yourself is: Will what I read or see increase my sense of community and connection, or will it increase my sense of alienation, anger, or anxiety? This question also applies to what you write or re-post online (rumours, conspiracy theories, rants against groups we don't like). Our expressed frustrations during a crisis reveal our pre-existing biases.

His main research field is the history of the business corporation. He studies the business corporation in Britain and comparatively, and in the wider context of legal and economic history, the history of industrialization, capitalism, colonialism and globalization. He also works on the history of other forms of business organization (partnerships, commenda, etc.) and of other legal-economic institutions (contracts, property rights, etc.). His additional research interests include the methodology of legal-economic history, the history and policy of bankruptcy and consumer credit, and Israeli legal history.

He earned an LL.B., and B.A. and M.A. in history from TAU and a Ph.D. in history from Columbia University. Harris was a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University (2017-18). He was a visiting professor at UC Berkeley, USC, Cornell University, École Normale Supérieure in Paris, London School of Economics, HEC Business School in Paris and NALSAR Hyderabad and spent extended research periods as a visiting fellow in Oxford. Harris is a co-founder of the Israeli Legal History Association and the President of the Economic History Association of Israel.

Harris is the author of three books: Going the Distance: Eurasian Trade and the Rise of the Business Corporation, 1400-1700 (2020); Industrializing English Law: Entrepreneurship and Business Organization, 1720 – 1844 (2000); Israeli Law: The Formative Years 1948-1977 (2014). He is the editor of two other books and the author or co-author of numerous articles in economics, business, history and law journals.

He is currently working on a book project on the comparative history of private companies in France, Germany, Britain, and the US (with Naomi Lamoreaux, Timothy Guinnane and Jean-Laurent Rosenthal) and on a book project on the expansion of company law from Britain to its global Empire between 1815-1914.
