vivian_munich 's review for:
Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy
by David D. Burns
This book was recommended to me earlier this year, and I was dragging my feet to read a 700-page long self-help book. Guess what, it was a pleasant surprise and I do find the cognitive psychotherapy methods useful & sustainable to calm me down in times of self-doubts and anxieties (and diligently printed out the ten cognitive distortions and double-column technique tables). The timing was also perfect - a few months ago I might not have been so perceptive to such ideas.
I didn't like the tone of Burns sometimes, a bit too patronizing and self-congratulatory. But considering this book was first published in 1980, I'll let it pass. Oh, and don't dread the 700ish pages, 1/4 is appendix and 1/4 is just about antidepressant drugs that I flipped over gladly.
