    by Char from The United States | Nov 11, 2009

    hopefully, I can get through this very thick book, but I LOVE the premise, and heard about it from an Education Week talk on battling depression. The speaker was a 20 year or so experienced Psychiatrist who now works w/ LDS Social Services, and rarely uses medication more than very short term, and has seen TONS of non-relapse success with cognitive therapy--anyway, that's what this somewhat older, but still best-selling book is about--except in extreme cases, he gives lots of tools for controlling our misguided/distorted thoughts and therefore controlling our moods and emotions---my life's goal! Really hopeful and positive though, w/o being narcissistic-a lot of focus on the benefit of good relationships, etc.--more later, after I've read past ch 3!

    by Tiko from Seattle, WA | Jun 12, 2009

    This book changed my life. I am now able to recognize my mental patterns and decide if they're beneficial to me or not, and discard the unproductive, depressing, anxiety creating thoughts in favor of good thoughts or no thought at all. It's a workbook & the exercises must be done to get the full effect.

    I recently bought this handbook again because I lost the first one and I realized I'm in need of its way of putting my thoughts on paper and weighing/sorting them out.

    I recommend this book to everyone, including you. :)

    by Shahna from The United States | Jan 25, 2010

    This book changed my life during a very difficult time. It started my desire to go back to school and get a masters degree in this field so that I can share his message with others. It is my go-to book I recommend to people who struggle with a mood disorder or know someone who does but the dont want to rely on medicine. I am not against medicine, I just love the ideas behind behavioral therapy and know it works.

    Can't afford counselling? Well, they've actually studied this book and found it has clinical effectiveness very similar to a course of cognitive behavioural therapy. I found the bit about interpersonal communication especially helpful. Find the truth in complaints against you. Who knew?

    by Ruth from Fallbrook, CA | May 25, 2010

    727 pages. Donated 2010 May.

    Revised with up-to-date information on the most commonly prescribed psychiatric drugs, "The Feeling Good Handbook" has sold more than 500,000 copies in previous editions.

    Somehow I expected more. The book seemed kind of patronizing.
