Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Self-help books are now such a recognised part of the therapy canvass they have been called bibliotherapy. However Dr David Burns, a psychiatry professor with 20 years clinical experience, accepts the limits of any book to cure those with serious mental health problems. But his book 10 Days to Great Self-Esteem offers a very practical step-be-step guide which could help most of us feel better about ourselves.

Full of charts and assignments, this book has no use for discovering why you might feel low. Instead it uses cognitive behavioural therapy which means think about it a different way and you'll feel different. "Your thoughts--not events--create your moods. Bad things that happen do not really cause us to become upset. We get upset because of the way we think about these events", explains Burns. If you have persistent negative thoughts, Burns suggests a cost-benefit analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of thinking that way. Seeing it written down makes it much easier to challenge.

The idea of Burns' approach is to raise self-esteem to the point that self seeks to matter. That, says Burns, is incredibly freeing. His approach links self-improvement to the Buddhist ladder to nirvana, combining eastern and western thought in an easy-to-use practical package. --Laura Marcus

5.0 out of 5 stars practical advice on how to overcome many emotional problems, 6 Dec 2000
By A Customer
David Burns uses his extensive knowledge in dealing with emotional problems to create this workbook. It is simple and useful. The really McCoy. I hope you can gain benefit from the exercises described here. There are references to his other books which supplement the ideas he is trying to convey to the reader. I would give this book a five star review purely based on the changes it has brought about in my life, allowing me to overcome many self-esteem related issues. Don't resist buying this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good, 13 Sep 2008
By C. Ross "carlaross" (East Sussex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book for my ex-partner (we still get along!), it arrived to today and I thought I'd read just to check I hadn't bought something daft. I've read the first couple of chapters and so far I feel the language and communication are great. One of my worries was that it was going to sound too American, which would be a turn off for my ex, but it doesn't .

The main reason I wanted to add a review is that in the first chapter it asks you to supplement your work in the book with reading from another of his books - The Feeling Good Handbook - which happily I'd ordered anyway, but thought may be disappointing to get yourself in the mindset to read and DO the exercises in this book, only to find you didn't have all you needed. Perhaps it says that somewhere and I've missed it! But thought would be handy just in case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great/Super book.. still not depressed. , 16 Nov 2005
By A Customer
I have always suffered from depression all my life & I have found that D.Burns' books have help me to be where I am now... a person who has not suffered from depression for many many years now. His book "Feeling Good" is excelent. Written in 2005

Its now 2009 & I am still great & now read books on happiness & well being so no longer read stuff on depression. The core of what I learnt from Feeling Good still stays with me & I apply what I have learnt to avoid feeling depressed where in the long distance past I have been depressed.
