cocolaco 's review for:
Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy
by David D. Burns
I thought there was something I could change about myself (some bad moods? some flat days? occasional blues? stress and anger? lack of resilience? loneliness?) but I didn’t know what it was, exactly. Anyway. My sister randomly left this old book (1980 edition!) at my house and I started randomly reading it. As you do. And it made everything make *so much sense*.
I need to work on it, ongoing (it will take a long time to change my thinking), but I think this is going to be so very helpful to me. I learned a lot. I wish I read this book when my kids were babies because it's helped a lot with my parenting, too. I've learned what's at the root of negative emotions like frustration and anger, and how to change my thinking so that I don't experience those emotions most of the time (except for healthy anger).
