"Many years ago I had a confluence of tragic events in my life and I decided to see a psychologist for a while. One day the psychologist told me that I needed to "deal with my feelings". I told him in frustration that I heard that many times before, but that I did not understand what that meant. I asked him what exactly do people do when they "deal with their feelings". He was silent for a few moments and then he wrote the name of this book down on a slip of paper. This book will tell you how to "deal with your feelings".
You may get an instant change in your feelings on some small issues, but for the most part cognitive therapy is like jogging to lose weight. You have to do it consistently and for a while to get significant results. No magic, you have to work, but you will get good results.
One of the symptoms of depression is not seeing things as they are. Since cognitive therapy works on learning to see things as how they are a person with severe depression might benefit from seeing a psychologist who specializes in cognitive therapy. Such a therapist can help a person see around their blind spots whereas a book can not.
"this is a great one. whether you are depressed, sometimes get unhappy or just want to know how you can be more happy, this one is for you. it allows you to get away from the common distortions that we find ourselves in. there's a little survey that you take to see how happy or unhappy you are and it trains you on who to not let things take away your happiness. Its good."
"I thought this was going to be a novel, but it isn't. It's a book about how to beat depression. I skimmed through the whole thing, and it seemed kinda stupid- if you think positive you will be happy... I'm sure the strategies were good, but I didn't read any of them in detail."
"Our thoughts have great power over us and our relationships. This book is not just for people who struggle with depression, but for everyone who wants to better understand themselves and how to improve their own well-being."
