The Feeling Good Handbook
by David D. Burns
Burns' expanded companion to Feeling Good, covering depression, anxiety, procrastination, communication and medication, with many exercises and the daily mood log. It is long and encyclopedic, and it has been used in therapy as prescribed reading for decades.
Read it if…
you want the most complete CBT self-help reference from the person who popularized it.
Skip it if…
you want a focused read; it covers everything.
Three things you will actually use
- Identify the distortion; it is almost always one of ten.
- Communication problems respond to the same methods.
- Practice daily; reading is not treatment.
Do this first
Read the section on your main problem and do its exercises before reading further.
Our verdict
Encyclopedic and proven.
