You don't have to read every page of this book and work every exercise offered in order to get some help in dealing with your depression. My copy of this book was published in 1980 and I refer back to it a couple of times a year as a refresher. I found great value in his 10 cognitive distortions list and have used them to catch myself in mid-thought and really begin to see how I put myself on the path to depression. The advice in this section of his book is timeless and useful. I have never done all the exercises and I have never used his wrist counter idea. Others may find it helpful or not. But I have lent this book to others who were experiencing depression and every one of them found something of value in the book.

I went through a real "rock bottom" point and turned to this book for guidance and hope. I'm in my mid 20's and just needed something/someone to direct me into literally - feeling good. This book taught me so many simple things like turning off the negative side of my brain and to focus on the positive, something I thought was impossible. Within the book there are worksheets to help you manage your thoughts to really get you started on "feeling good" asap. I highly recommend this book from people that are severely depressed to just feeling down. If you cant afford a shrink, or just need some guidance... THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU! It honestly has changed my life, I'm so thankful for this find!!

Cognitive behavior therapy has been used for a long time to deal with mood disorders. This book has been around for at least a decade now I'd say. It's still a good book on CBT, not much has changed. It's a long book and covers CBT and medications pretty thoroughly.

Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety & Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition]
Rated by buyers -
I forgot about this book, I read it many years ago (that makes four that I've read). It's very thick, must be about 800 pages I think. The general idea is that if you can figure out and understand how your thoughts effect your mood and then you logically change the thoughts you have, your mood will change with them. So if you hate yourself and then convince yourself not to hate yourself by writing out reasons that you shouldn't hate yourself, and facts that prove that you shouldn't hate yourself, then that would be considered changing your thoughts, and thus then, your moods. As I recall it also discusses some basic medications and how those drugs will assist the exercises. I'd put Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety & Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition] ahead of this one on your list, but obviously it's a matter of taste, this a lot longer so if it's a matter of getting the most pages for the money, then maybe this one is a good choice for you. This is a totally difference solution approach than Tao Cycle Therapy, that one uses an intensive dynamic exposure method to defeat your ego defenses. This one, "feeling good" is more similar to the positive psychology movement, specifically the cbt side of it.
