A scientist from the University of Cardiff has formulated a method to calculate when a Blue Monday is going to strike you. According to him you deduct your debt from the weather, multiply that by the number of days since Christmas, then divide that by the sum of your low levels of motivation and your desire to take action. According to the formula, January 25 this year was the official, scientifically proven Blue Monday. The day on which people got really, seriously depressed.

Tafelberg Publishers asked a number of interesting personalities to tell entertaining stories about their experiences.

Enjoy a chuckle about the worst Blue Mondays experienced by the likes of Elma Postma, Peter Veldsman, Toast Coetzer, Anton Goosen, Lien Botha, Ollie Viljoen, Schalk Joubert, Lizz Meiring and Janie du Plessis.
