Image:How to Good-Bye Depression.jpg How to Good-Bye Depression: If You Constrict Anus 100 Times Everyday. Malarkey? or Effective Way? is a self-help book by Hiroyuki Nishigaki published by Writer's Showcase Press on August 1, 2000 (ISBN 0595094724). The book gained a small cult following. Between 2000 and 2002, the author discussed this book on a number of American radio talk shows. Despite this exposure, it is unclear whether there is any medical basis for the unique claims it makes.
In the book, the author, who claims to have attained an understanding of the human physical and spiritual condition along the lines of enlightenment pursued by such mystics as Carlos Castaneda and the alchemists of second-millennium Europe, presents a simple routine of daily exercises which he claims will cleanse the body of physical ills, clarify the mind, and calm the spirit.
The first half of the book consists of Usenet articles, wherein the formula below is repeatedly followed:
- A random person flames Mr. Nishigaki
- Mr. Nishigaki misunderstands the tone of the flame and responds enthusiastically with various strata of his anal constriction technique
- The cycle starts over and repeats itself
The second half of the book dispenses with the Usenet articles and contains a narrative on anal constriction.
The entire book is written in amusingly fractured English.
