The Mindful Way through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness - Mark         Williams, John D. Teasdale, Zindel V. Segal, Jon Kabat-Zinn Wordy, & about much more than depression, but very helpful.
Realising the ways in which the brain & body react to stress & unpleasant feelings, why they do that & how to tune into those signals in order to ward off major chain-reactions like acute stress and depression - pretty priceless.
NB, if the whole book seems too daunting, start at Chapter 11 which offers the structure of an 8 week program, instead of trying to swallow the thing whole.
