5.0 out of 5 stars a healed sceptic, 18 Feb 2006
By A Customer
Like the other reviewers, i cannot praise this book enough. The effect it's had on me - more specifically, my mood - feels miraculous. It's premise is based on the theory that depression is caused by distorted thinking and if my experience is anything to go by, this is totally accurate. The author emphasises writing your thoughts down and he's absolutely right to do so. When i translated my thoughts on to paper, it was amazing to see how utterly negative, and frankly ridiculous, they sounded. Using the techniques the author explains, the reader - and writer - is able to dissect the thoughts and so arrive at a more realistic, and calmer, frame of mind.
Whatever your 'level' of depression i really believe this can be of help. Put it this way, if it worked for me it can work for anybody.
You may think the idea sounds simple, and one you can perform without the aid of a book. The insidious thing about depression, in my view, is that you often don't realise how bad you are and therefore don't enlist the help you need. This was certainly the case for me - i didn't realise how destructive my thoughts were until i analysed them.
I'm not exaggerating when i say this has transformed my mood - i feel like i've had a brain detox!
If you have depression, even if you think it's very mild, i'd recommend you read this book - what have you got to lose? On the other hand, you may have an awful lot to gain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best book on fighting depression, 29 Nov 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy (Paperback)
Too many self help books have been written, and too many people have been disappointed by the limited effects. This one stands out from the crowd. The methods provided are very simple and very effective. This is a compassionate, but hardheaded no-nonsense book. I bought my book in 92 when I experienced a severe depression. My copy is worn out. Burns has a convincing personal style to his writing. The central idea of the book is that depression comes from distorted thinking. He presents a list of common distortions. Using simple tecniques, you learn how to lift your mood within minutes by talking back to your distorted thoughts. The book is written in a common sense style, accessible to everyone (This is the kind of book Frazier Cranes father could have written). Apart from the talking back part, you also learn how to find the deeper causes for certain self defeating attitudes. You don't have to be clinically depressed to find use for this book. It is also good for dealing with everyday disappointments.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would give this book 10 stars!!!, 25 Jun 2005
By A Customer
Fantastic book. I bought this book after I has recovered from one of my many depressive episodes. I was determined NEVER to get depressed again and if I did know what to do about it. This book meet my needs and more. It alloed me to find out how depressed I was in the past (a few times I was serverly depressed) and it got me to see how some of my thinking was causing me to get depressed over again. It has questionaries for you to follow and an extensive section afterwards to expand on your questionare results.

It has now been over 5 years since I have not had a depression and I would say that this book has been to blame for that.

If you are depressed or could get depressed in the future then get this book.
