Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David D. Burns

5.0

A great book on self-analysis that helps you identify and rebutt negative and irrational thoughts, anger, and anxiety inducing beliefs. Tons of exercises within. It took me a month to read this one because I stopped at every exercise (there are dozens) and did each in a composition book as I progressed through the book, then I stopped reading for the day to let the material/exercises sink in. I think this is probably the best way to get the most from the book. It's a touch over 700 pages. I will now be moving on to his Feeling Good Handbook, which is also 700 pages with even more exercises, and then to his newest book, Feeling Great. It is not surprising that this is the number one book psychiatrists and psychologists recommend to their patients.
