Risk is a title that signals courage in the face of uncertainty. It represents the decision to step forward when fear, doubt, and emotional weight are strongest. In the context of the book, Risk is not about recklessness; it is about the deliberate choice to trust that life can improve even when depression clouds judgment and hope feels distant.
The title reflects the central idea that healing often requires a leap of faith—taking action without guarantees, believing in progress before it is visible. For someone battling depression, even small steps can feel risky: opening up, asking for help, changing routines, or choosing to hope again. Risk frames these acts as powerful, necessary movements toward recovery.
Ultimately, the title conveys that overcoming depression is itself an act of bravery. To live, to try again, and to believe in purpose despite pain is the greatest risk—and the most meaningful one.
