This is an excellent, well written, easy to comprehend book on how to help one's self with mood issues, from depression to anger to interacting with others. Take it from someone that has been on the meds and dealingwith depression and anger- I love this book. Buy it and read it- you will be happy you did.
I liked it very much and would defintely recommend it to those who do suffer from nervous disorders. Feeling Good is not only a great self-help book, it's a way of thinking. It's a great read that can generate great results. And by that I mean, it's your thoughts that usually cause the problems, right. Well, this book will discuss that and tell you how to use congnitve behavior therapy to get through this and onto feeling good. I also would recommend What if. My Story of Panic Attacks.
This book helped me to get over my harshest critic: myself.Buy it. For instance, I am a 6-time published author (search for me here on Amazon), a bronze-star Iraq war vet, and even a motivational speaker---and a damn good one at that.
The first 45 pages of this 300+ page book will change your life. This book will change your life.
This is a book you will read and reread and love and cherish.As a quick addendum, I want you to know that this book is absolutely applicable for those of who are 'successful'--whatever that means. Actually do the exercise it asks you to do in those first 45 pages and your life WILL change.
I have started doing it anytime I start to feel down on myself, and wow, it helps me tremendously. And yet, I get depressed too sometimes, and I am often way too hard on myself.

It was suggested to me to get this book on Amazon.com. I was a little apprehensive because I had never ordered anything from Amazon but those apprehensions are completely gone. I was very pleased with the service and the quality and condition of the book. Because of this experience, I am now an avid fan of Amazon.
If this seems too daunting, or this approach doesn't appeal to you, try something like Exercise Beats Depression- which has been shown to be just as effective as cognitive therapy or drugs in controlled trials. Does it work.
Cognitive therapy's premise is that your thinking (messages that you are giving yourself all day long) directly inflences your moods and how you feel. The title of my review is actually a summary of how this book plans to make you feel better.The book is authored by a someone who has had a lot of experience using cognitive therapy techniques to try and improve people's depression.
And that's what the book is about- getting you to get rid of negative thoughts and replacing them with good ones. Therefore, if you are thinking negatively, you're going to feel that way.
Likewise, if you think positive and optimistically, well, you're going to feel good. Well, the book has been around since 1980, and there's actually been some good solid research that has actually taken the book, given it to depressed patients.and they've improved.With its easy writing style and research-backed techniques, Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy +Revised and Updated is definitely worth the read- just know you've got over 500+ pages ahead of you.
Good luck.
