Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David D. Burns
5.0
Reading this book is looking in a mirror of all the terrible things I've been too afraid to understand about myself, then gives me tools to talk back and dig deeper. It's quite good and I've only done the exercises for 2 weeks (specifically cognitive distortions which is fire, like learning the fundamental probability distributions and unlocking a whole world of data).
User beware though, it takes a lot of determination to actually do the exercises haha, Jess of 2019 or honestly anytime before 2022 was just not ready to work this hard to feel good (which is fine! just a disclaimer that this book SLAPS when there's a lot of effort in the tank and headspace for the tasks presented but otherwise this book can be another opinionated but forgettable self-help book)
