"Do you sometimes feel ... Down, depressed, or unhappy? Anxious, panicky, or insecure? Guilty or ashamed? Inferior, inadequate, or worthless? Lonely, unwanted, or alone? For decades, we've been told that negative feelings like depression and anxiety are the result of what's wrong with us, like a personality defect, a "mental disorder," or a chemical imbalance in your brain. These messages create feelings of shame and make it sound like we're broken and need to be "fixed." Now, Dr. David Burns, author of the best-selling and highly acclaimed Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, reveals that our negative moods do not result from what's wrong with us, but rather -- what's right with us. And when you listen and suddenly "hear" what your negative thoughts and feelings are trying to tell you, suddenly you won't need them anymore, and recovery will be just a stone's throw away. In his innovative book, Feeling Great, Dr. Burns, describes a new and revolutionary high-speed treatment for depression and anxiety based on 40 years of research and more than 40,000 hours treating individuals with severe mood problems. The goal is not just a rapid and complete elimination of negative feelings, but the development of feelings of joy and enlightenment. Dr. Burns will provide you with inspiring and mind-blowing case studies along with more than 50 amazing tools to crush the negative thoughts that rob you of happiness and self-esteem. You can change the way you feel! You owe it to yourself to FEEL GREAT!"--

Searched years for a book like this. This book is so amazing I read all of David's books. Bought multiple hard copies, kindle, and audible versions, for me, friends and family members. I give his books away like candy at Halloween. Life changing book for those who have minor to major problems with anxiety and depression.

Fantastic

Reviewed in Canada on April 29, 2022

Another great book from David Burns. It feels less structured than the others in a way, as there are less promptings and requests to do the daily mood log (DML; now called the daily mood journal). But all the tools to learn and use the DML are there; the DML is your bread and butter, but, while it can come easy to many, it most often requires practice. The practice can be hard when you tell yourself it won't work, or are convinced it will be too hard, or uncomfortable, or useless, but the practice will pay off (note: at first, you will most likely be convinced - absolutely convinced - that your painful thoughts are true, and won't see the point in challenging them). If you combine this book with the shorter When Panic Attacks, or the much shorter Ten Days to Self-Esteem, then you will have all the structure you could ask for.

The Positive Reframing method, which is the critical innovation in this book, is really amazing. The message I have taken away is that all of my feelings, especially the ones that I have been at pains to hide my entire life, such as shyness, anxiety, and feelings of inferiority, are helpful and quite reasonable IF the thoughts that I have about myself and my environment are valid. Those feelings and emotions help me to withdraw, and avoid situations that feel dangerous. They help me simulate and prepare for those dangers. For example, if I'm feeling shy, my shyness will prompt me to sit back and stay quiet; a good strategy if you fear saying something foolish, or another embarrassing outcome. Once you sincerely see the benefit of these feelings, an outcome that won't be surprising to any evolutionary psychologist - that your emotions and behaviours, as painful as they may be, provide a benefit to you - you will already feel better. The key is realizing that your thoughts are not, actually, logically consistent with reality.

After the Positive Reframing, you can move onto challenging your negative thoughts. For example, you may believe, in any social-anxiety-provoking situation, that you shouldn't feel so shy, or that if someone notices your shyness, they'll look down on you. You might then want to ask yourself questions that illuminate your beliefs about those other people, for example, have they ever felt shy (who hasn't!?) or if they've ever felt insecure or uncertain of how to behave in certain situations (of course). You might then say something like "well, I shouldn't feel thisss insecure." You might then have to confront your high standards, and may realize that you're a person with normal shyness, but incredibly high-standards; such a mixture should create shyness... So, in fact, you should feel shy! (with those irrational thoughts, anyways). In sum, and of course, the book is much more enlightening than a review like this, and the methods provide leverage to discover the logical/factual inconsistencies in your thinking, and therein lies your freedom. More realistic thoughts that reduce your belief in the thoughts you presently (and, for now, completely) believe provide instant relief.

Incredible book

Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2022

I wasn't too sure how I would feel about this book as I have done a lot of mindset work as a life coach for well over a decade. I figured it was a rehash of what I know. It is in the sense that taking a client through a process CAN create an immediate and very impactful change in just ONE session. This was not new to me as I have witnessed this in my coaching practice over and over again.

The first part of the book was painful to listen to. (I wish the author had read the book.) There was a lot of justifying Dr. Burns work by Dr. Burns. Mainly because mental health professionals have had a tendency to dismiss coaching and to consider it harmful because the coach-client interaction is different and goes against their code of conduct. Coaching is more openly personal as there is mutual sharing and a lot of open reciprocal communication between a coach and client. Coaches will share personal examples and stories for perspective and also to connect with their client to allow them to open up and to not feel judged especially since most of what people present is normal and very common.

Things have been changing rapidly as more healthcare professionals add coaching skills to their practice. Much of coaching does come from what has been learned by the field of psychology but the difference is the open and revealing communication and the goal-outcome focus of each session. There are many more differences but I will leave this here.

The book begins by taking you through individual cases, one client per chapter, and teaches Dr. Burns methodology as well as prompt the readers to make guesses about outcomes as a tool to expand the readers thinking before receiving Dr. Burn's answer. This is a great learning tool. The book then leads the reader to be guided through the same methodology, process, to see how the entire process works for themselves.

The book provides a lot of tools to use to address client resistance and how to overcome this resistance. This is a main point in the book (and in coaching). When resistance is lowered, then the client will be in a place to do the work during the session to be able to move forward.

There are 50 tools at the end of the book. There is also focus on relationships, role-playing, as well a guest address on the future or status of research.

I found the book much better to follow than the audiobook, although I do use both at the same time. It's because of the charts with the client responses. Not easy to grasp a chart when read! The audiobook does come with a supplemental PDF with the charts.

Really, the best part of this book are the very helpful charts. There are several. The best is the map "Cheat Sheet" of all 50 tools (methods) and which cognitive distortion they address as while being classified into categories of types of distortions.

What is also really great and useful about the book in general is that you can finally address a recurring thought that gives you a lot of trouble in life and create a plan for it ahead of time. It is usually a main recurring thought that can lead to low, depressive, or anxious states. The methodology will help you identify a series of tools that you have demonstrated work for you to address this challenge. Once you have this methodology mapped out, you will have a plan on how to address it forever.

What is also great, is that when one big issue has been addressed, all other smaller issues seem to magically fall into place and are solved because the main one that sets everything else off has been solved.

There is a chapter on how to prevent relapse. After this main session, Dr. Burns case clients had a follow up session 2 months later. Everyone is still doing great. When someone does have a slip - which will happen! (because the client feels such a high to overcome a huge mental obstacle in their life and then suddenly, when challenged when things go wrong, feelings can drop pretty low). It's all part of the process. Clients will then need a tune-up session to get back on track. Details about study outcomes and statistics are detailed in the book.

The main goal of this book is to be mindful of what you think because what you think about does determine how you feel about yourself, your life, your outlook, and relationships.

I will be going through this book several times to fully study it and to learn from it, and to add to or to compliment my coaching skills. I am also planning to contact the author!

The information in this book is great as a way to add extra tools to your recovering through depression and anxiety. I didn't expect it to be a workbook though. Every chapter has a lot of work that needs to be written out and worked on in order to move forward so if you aren't expecting or willing to do a lot of written work, this is not one to just read cover to cover.

This is a self-help book. I've read the predecessor, "Feeling Good" as an audiobook. I recommend a hard copy as well, for browsing more easily when you want to use the techniques described.
It has helped me a lot. It is not a substitute for therapy, but still useful and very accessible.

Our mind guides us, and when it is confused we are doomed, Dr. Burns has covered this complex topic in a very structured way, we all knew everything he wrote in this book but we never thought that way. Read the book daily for 2 hours, do the exercises and I am sure it will help a lot, surely it is not a miracle cure, but it does the job very well.
