Dr Burns has done it again. He had provided us with clearly described and practical guidelines for dealing with fears, anxieties, panic attacks, procrastination, and communication problems ... invaluable

Carries the very useful procedures of Feeling Good into many other important areas of life. Clear, systematic, and forceful.

I first read David Burns' "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy", followed by this, and I highly recommend the two books together. Both books concentrate on the theory that most stress and depression is caused predominantly by your thoughts, and it gives you priceless skills on how to deal with this. They both give very useful practical tasts that help you to challenge your thoughts and value system, which in turns makes your life more enjoyable and productive. I found that Feeling Good introduced the topic and skills in a fantastic way and let me get to work on the foundations of challenging my illogical thinking. After reading the first book and practicing the skills for a couple of years, I then read this book. I found that this book built on Feeling Good very well in the way that it displayed many different areas of life where the skills can be of use. It repeats the key points from the first book, but starts to move more into life skills than battling with depression. The segment on effective communication is worth its weight in gold. That could save marriages and enrich your relationships with other people. It already has for me in the short time since I have read it. After reading these two books, I also read "A Guide to Rational Living" by Albert Ellis. I found that this book was more conceptual than practical, but it solidified the core concept from Feeling Good in a way the Burn's books could not do for me. I do recommend that if you want to read Burns' books first, you read Feeling Good first. Whether its better to read Ellis' books before or after Burns', I'm not sure. I read them in this particular order and all three have had a profound effect on my life. I am now a lot emotionally stronger than I used to me to great effect in my life.

An excellent book that does what most books do not - it provides long-term solutions rather temporary ones. A handbook that is necessary in everybody's life, whether they suffer from depression and anxiety or not. This is a wonderful book that truly provides insight and helpful assistance and getting through any stage of depression, from severe depression to just a bad patch.
