Shelves: non-fiction
I haven't read this yet, but was recently directed to a list included in this book on page 76 of distorted thoughts, or cognitive distortions, that people make:
1) All-or-nothing thinking: You look at things in absolute, black-and-white categories. 2) Over-generalization: You view a negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat. 3) mental filter: You dwell on the negatives and ignore the positives. 4) Discounting the positives: You insist that your positives don't 'count.' 5) Jumping to conclus..more

Unlike with previous Burns books, I read this one while I was feeling relatively normal and untroubled. I did this because I sensed myself relapsing. Cognitive therapy, as you might know, is based on the premise that your thoughts control your moods and emotions. Thus it works by changing your beliefs and even your values in order to alleviate depression, anxiety, and problems with relationships. In my own experience, this can have a remarkably liberating effect. The problem is that, when the re..more
This book changed my life. I am now able to recognize my mental patterns and decide if they're beneficial to me or not, and discard the unproductive, depressing, anxiety creating thoughts in favor of good thoughts or no thought at all. It's a workbook & the exercises must be done to get the full effect.
I recently bought this handbook again because I lost the first one and I realized I'm in need of its way of putting my thoughts on paper and weighing/sorting them out. I recommend this book t..more

I am not ashamed of reading self-help books, or of liking them despite the fact that they do not possess the subtlety or nuance or pacing of the classics. 'Show, don't tell' kind of disappears: you are being told more often than you are being shown in these sorts of reads about how to deal with feelings and emotions, which can be off-putting to like-minded fiction buffs, but I feel like my readings in fiction led me here. This is in part because I was seeking counseling in my fiction: counseling..more
Do not read this book if you are severely depressed. This book has helped a lot of people -- people who are mildly or moderately depressed. For people who are severely or chronically depressed, not as much.
I bought the book after three years of clinical depression and then had the book for four more years of depression, and I only got a few chapters into it. In fact, it really stressed me out. I took it to my therapist's office several times with me feeling upset, brokenhearted, like a failure,..more
hopefully, I can get through this very thick book, but I LOVE the premise, and heard about it from an Education Week talk on battling depression. The speaker was a 20 year or so experienced Psychiatrist who now works w/ LDS Social Services, and rarely uses medication more than very short term, and has seen TONS of non-relapse success with cognitive therapy--anyway, that's what this somewhat older, but still best-selling book is about--except in extreme cases, he gives lots of tools for controlli..more

This is a great book for people with anxiety disorder. Contains some worksheets as well as great tips for making it through panic attacks.
I am currently reading the book. I think that the book is really good and is very on point with different kind of issues. The book really tackles many issues that we face everyday.I think that the book is really helpful for figuring out what is bothering you and how to solve many problems such as depression and other different kinds of phobias. The book has taught me several things so far on how to express my feelings and how to get to the bottom of what ever is bothering you. I think that anybo..more

Recommended to Jacqueline by: A dear friend, who is a Social Worker
SUCH a good book! I was given this by a friend who has shelves upon shelves of self help books, and I was very skeptical at first. To me, all self help books are just fluff, I mean can it be that easy to improve your life just from reading a book? YES! This book is pretty intimidating with its large size but it is absolutely chalk-full of amazing information and ways to deal with the everyday stresses of life. I will recommend this book to every person who wants to change their life for the bett..more
I don't know. So far, I'm not finding this very helpful. Say it's the depression talking if you will, but I feel like I should be on the waiting list for the Oprah show when I'm reading this. I'll finish it.. but I have a 'good feeling' that $20 I spent on it would have been better used somewhere else.

Overwhelmed? Stressed? Feel like you're ready to slide into a dark abyss?
This is the book version of a cognitive behavioral therapy session with a psychiatrist. The examples, advice and exercises help you step back from your feelings, thoughts and behavior and take a clearer, more factual look at what's really going on in and around you. It's a tome at just over 700 pages and covers topics such as Why People Procrastinate, Social Anxiety and Five Secrets of Intimate Communication, all divided int..more
This is the newer edition of THE book that was used in the clinical trials comparing antidepressants to cognitive-behavioral therapy, in which, believe it or not, they were found equally effective. I wish I had learned about this book in medical school! Not only have I found it extremely helpful on a personal level, but I can't think of a single person I've ever met who shouldn't read this book. What a helpful way of untwisting all the horrible things we and our minds do to ourselves.
A wonderful, comprehensive handbook for those with depression and/or anxiety. This lengthy book delves into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) where one's automatic thoughts are analyzed for distorted thinking and exchanged for more rational thoughts. The book is also a workbook full of assignments and scenarios to lead the reader to a better understanding of why they think the way they do. There are also chapters on anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medications, what they do, how they respond to oth..more

See my review of the book. This is a great handbook and there probably is more info in it. But I would suggest that you don’t need this handbook. I think the book is plenty helpful and only $5 on Amazon. Just my two cents.

This book is not an attempt to hard sell. It is a sincere, genuine effort to provide us with exercises that really work. This I can say from personal experience. David D. Burns is a champion of Cognitive Psychology, and he has reached out to the general population with the simplest way with this book. This book is simply a must read, and practice. It is a classic.
Can't afford counselling? Well, they've actually studied this book and found it has clinical effectiveness very similar to a course of cognitive behavioural therapy. I found the bit about interpersonal communication especially helpful. Find the truth in complaints against you. Who knew?

727 pages. Donated 2010 May.
Revised with up-to-date information on the most commonly prescribed psychiatric drugs, 'The Feeling Good Handbook' has sold more than 500,000 copies in previous editions. Somehow I expected more. The book seemed kind of patronizing.

A friendly, step-by-step approach to applying Rational Emotive-Based Therapy (REBT) to your own life. Does a very good job of showing the connections between our thoughts and our emotions.

Stupid book gave me anxiety about how to fix my anxiety. I gives you a guilt trip in the beginning about not taking the exercises seriously enough. I got rid of it.

It is a great book in that it give strategies and real world examples on how a self analysis can lead to chaning thought patterns which can lead to being happier.
The reason I rated the book 4 stars and not 5 is that it only talks about one aspect of fighting depression and ignores other aspects completely. Other aspects are: 1. Environment (important but not covered) -less stressful environment -more nature -people around that love you 2. Physical (important but not covered) -enough sleep - good nutriti..more

The thoughts you have, no matter how distorted, create your emotions- which feel real no matter how distorted the thought is.
I love his notion on should statements, because setting yourself up for feeling like a failure usually starts with should statements. By using alternate wording you can significantly improve your thoughts and thereby your mood. I like his idea to write down the thoughts that led to the negative emotion, such as always or never statements. Then uncoil these distorted statem..more

I read this on my mom's recommendation. Aware of how much I can't stand new-agey 'power of positive thinking' crap, she knew I would really benefit from and enjoy the very concrete, no-brainer techniques Dr. Burns offers to combat a myriad of cognitive issues like anxiety, procrastination, poor self-talk, etc. It took me a little over a month to get through the whole book- it's HUGE, but the last 200 pages or so are really only necessary for practicing psychiatrists and therapists since they dea..more
I enjoyed the book overall. It gave me several techniques to think through my own distortions and to rationalize them. But, what I did not like was the way the author keeps saying that CBT is not a miracle and needs real hardwork but when he provides examples of his own patients, it sounds like a miracle happened. People that went into his office and boom! One session and the depression is gone!

I've experienced major depressive episodes in the past and have been doing well for some time now. While I can't say this book would have helped me during my darkest days, I'm enjoying it and finding it useful to maintain my recovery. It has a lot of the same content I worked through in professional CBT therapy so if you're on a long waitlist for therapy this could help you get an idea of what to expect. I hope this book can help others in their recovery. If you don't find it helpful, don't desp..more
It's a classic. This is my go to book for clients in need of strategies to change their mood, or relationship dynamics. Though some may comment the examples are a little dry, they illustrate the point and do their job. I find this reference guide to be succinct and full of relevant applications. The summaries at the end of each chapter are helpful ways to review otherwise unwieldy tips and the strategies for effective communication are priceless. I've been in practice for decades and have not fo..more
I think this book is an easy read but needs to be taken LIGHTLY. Mainly helps to improve the way you look at interactions between people.
Definitively good for people who don't understand the impact we all have on others. Also helps on not getting upset at these same people. However, it should not be an excuse to accept abusive behavior. And I think this is part of what the book is missing.
I skimmed this ten years ago or so, and actually read it recently. I was looking on tips for coming out of 'having a bad day' and increasing resilience. I don't suffer from depression or basically any of the cases he talks about.
I found it very valuable, although I skimmed many sections. I do the Mood Log exercise and it's a great way to get out of a bad day.
Feb 13, 2018Angel Arturo rated it it was amazing
One of the best books on mood disorders and happiness.
I think it has some great tips, if anything it could stand to be shorter because a lot of the examples repeat themselves but it will probably be useful to anyone wanting to overcome depression, anxiety or explosive mood disorders. Dr. David D. Burns shows his expertise on the subject in an easy to understand book.

“The secret of successful treatment is not to become a perfect, shining star or to learn to be in complete control of your feelings. These strategies are doomed to failure. In contrast, when you accept yourself as an imperfect but eminently lovable human being, and you stop fighting your emotions so strenuously, your fear will often lose its grip over you.” More quotes…Download Book Feeling Good The New Mood Therapy in PDF format.
