This was recommended by my therapy group. I prefer a larger format and font. It's 20 years old and needs revamping. Edit heavily, make it 8"x10". Wordy stories of John and Marsha and what they should have said and thought.

The book outlines techniques for recognizing problems of depression and then changing thought processes to deal with anxiety, panic, low self-esteem, guilt, etc. The author describes techniques of cognitive therapy to deal with many problems associated with depression without the use of drugs. In recognition of depressed people possibly needing antidepressant medications, he has an updated guide for consumers on antidepressant drugs which is very useful in learning about possible drug actions and side effects. I bought this book because it was recommended by a psychologist for working on depression and related problems. It contains self-tests and scoring for analyzing situations and behaviors that can result in or be caused by distorted thinking, It also teaches the reader how to recognize distorted thoughts and figure out ways to change that way of thinking to more realistic and positive thoughts. It is a very good book and Burns writes in an unpretentious and understandable style. Compared to other self-help books of this nature, it is much more detailed and has very helpful exercises, tables and charts. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to help themselves out of a depressed mood and possibly change behaviors to remain in a better mood without drugs.Read full review
A 700-page book for $4 is quite a good deal, especially such an important book. The text was a lot smaller than I'm used to reading, but it's expected of physical books from the 20th century. (I usually read on my Kindle.)

Excellent book. Cured my depression and anxiety. Whenever I feel a bit down, I pull it off the shelf and reread to help myself again. I wore out my first 2 copies, so I bought 2 more on ebay. Thanks!!
