Good for understanding the basics of cognitive behavioral therapy. A bit too dense (as an audiobook) to really be actionable straight away, but works great as an intro before starting to practice the methods.
Also a must-read for someone on or about to start taking anti-depressants (just to be clear - the book doesn’t recommend against it, but gives a good overview when it’s most useful and how to get the most out of it).

This was a pretty interesting book about the ways in which I can fool myself into being unhappy. In general I'm pretty good at not doing that, but knowing about these "cognitive distortions" as well as the exercises Dr. Burns uses to combat them increases my awareness of them.
I feel like this has led to some amount of greater self-understanding, and will probably help me talk to friends about their feelings too.

This book was like a saviour when my mind was going all mental. It helped me understand that what was going through during those times, and that there was a way to overcome all that. This book was my introduction to CBT. Although I have read many other stuff regarding CBT, this book will always remain close to heart.
That said, this book can get quite rambly sometimes.
I mostly skimmed over the last few chapters, since it just flew over my head, what with all those antidepressant talks. But I can totally see myself going through them carefully if I ever decide to go on antidepressant drugs or something.
