He deals with hypochondria and various forms of social anxiety; improving intimate interpersonal communication; overcoming procrastination; coping with performance anxiety in public speaking, test-taking, and other activities.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm amazed!, 11 Nov 2003
By Kate (West Midlands, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feeling Good Handbook (Plume) (Paperback)
I'm not one for writing reviews! However this book has been enormous help to me. I've been suffering for 18 months from depression and have been receiving some form of therapy weekly. Yet somehow spending a week reading and working through the exercises in this book made such a huge impact on me! Of course its an ongoing process and I will continue to use the book. Its also the first book I've come across where I have been inspired to put pen to paper and make sense of all those negative thoughts in my head. Thanks Dr Burns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended.., 31 Aug 2004
This review is from: Feeling Good Handbook (Plume) (Paperback)
I frequently recommend this book to any friends of mine who are suffering from anxiety or depression. Its written in a highly readable way, and as another reviewer said you get the feeling that the author of this book really cares and wants to help and would never judge and whats more completely knows his subject.
I came across this book and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) after my Mother died and I experienced panic attacks and anxiety. For me it literally turned the way I was feeling around, the written exercises really do work. I wont say it got me back to normal because it did something else - it made me change the way I was thinking and left me confident that the ability to cope and change was all within me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, I recommend it to anyone, 14 Nov 2006
This review is from: Feeling Good Handbook (Plume) (Paperback)
I went through cognitive therapy in late eighties when a series of miscarriages tipped me over into depression, not experienced so badly since being bullied at school, and the aftermath. I felt a "failure" all over again. I was lucky enough to get one to one therapy through Oxford University Dept of Psychology, but this book plus the Feeling Good therapy guide was required reading, and exercises set from it each week. For an intelligent person not able to get hands on therapy, the books alone would go a long way to help. But don't skip bits, take it very seriously, its a professional book, although seemingly written in a friendly, self-help formatt. I was told to re-read it frequently, which I do, to keep depression at bay. Like alcoholism, it can reoccur at intervals, but I always get out of it with this book. Also great at dealing with life's problems for anyone not seriously depressed, but needing to understand themselves, and cope with other people and everyday life.
