The Feeling Good Handbook

I bought this on reccomendation and wasn't disappointed, it's great ! I'm using anti anxiety pills and together with this book it's helped me. I like the fact that it makes you do exercises throughout the book and can see a lot of my traits in the wording.

Good

Written well Covers lots of conditions Recommended to me by my therapist Good to revisit and keep for tough times

This is widely seen as the 'bible' of understanding stresses and anxieties and is certainly a useful tool. The advice is practical and understandable and is split into specific sections. If I had a reservation it would be that some of the exercises can be a little hard going, but I think that is probably the case with all such books. Overall recommended....

This book is really good for anyone thinking of having counselling, but would prefer to try and self help first before going down that route. It's really good, informative, tried and tested and there are exercises to complete after each chapter. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their mental health from negative to positive. Happy reading.

Lots of good stuff in this, but it is showing it's age. Lots better and clearer books on cbt of there. I respect the grind breaking nature of the work and the author, but many more have stood on his shoulders since and made more accessible material with less ego and "I'm so great for figuring all this out on my own undertones". Try "CBT for Dummies" instead. (it's better than it sounds)

This book was referred to in an online self help site that my doctor recommended. The book is very good at helping identify where problems may lie and how to think yourself well again. It has various exercises which at first seem daunting but as you work through them you really do start to feel better. I wish I had known about this book years ago, it would have helped me deal with life and the stuff that gets chucked at you. I will be using this book to keep myself well.

Fab book with great working examples to go through at your own pace. I now realise what`s been going on in my world for the last 30+years. The handbook gives me an insight into the powers of my thoughts, words and actions. I wouldn`t be suprised if, in the near future, this type of book becomes a common alternative to prescribed drugs. Feeling good already and only just purchased the book. A big thank you to David D Burns.
