To feel good
"Feeling Good" has sold more than 3 million copies to date. It was rated the most helpful book on depression in a recent national survey—among a list of more than 1,000 self-help books—and is the most frequently recommended book for the depressed by American psychiatrists.
Five controlled studies published in scientific journals over the past ten years found that 70 % depressed sufferers who read Feeling Good experienced improvement within four weeks - without any other therapy. In addition, the beneficial effect is long-lasting - it was tracked for up to three years afterwards!
It is surprising indeed that the anti-depressant effect of the book seems to be as strong as that of antidepressants or individual psychotherapy. Dr. Burns does not recommend any self-help book as a substitute for professional therapy. But this book will definitely be more than helpful for anyone suffering from depression or anxiety.
Feeling good is great!
You owe it to yourself!
"Personally, I would rate Dr. David Burns' Feeling Good as one of the most essential books of the last third of the twentieth century."
