Do you sometimes feel . . .
Down, depressed, or unhappy? Anxious, panicky, or insecure?
Guilty, inadequate, or worthless? Lonely, unwanted, or alone?
For decades, we've been told that "negative" feelings like depression and anxiety are the result of what's wrong with us, which creates feelings of shame and makes it sound like we're broken and need to be "fixed." But what if we have it all backwards? What if our negative moods do not result from what's wrong with us but, rather, what's right with us?
This is the revolutionary mind shift you will find in Feeling Great. Written by Dr. David Burns, a pioneer of cognitive therapy and author of the national bestseller Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, this book describes a groundbreaking high-speed treatment for depression and anxiety based on one simple notion: Our struggles actually reflect what is most beautiful about us. And when we can see our negative thoughts and feelings from this radically different perspective, recovery becomes possible--sometimes even in the blink of an eye!
Based on Dr. Burns's 40+ years of research and more than 40,000 hours treating individuals with severe mood issues, Feeling Great is filled with inspiring real-life case studies and more than 50 actionable tools to crush the negative thoughts that rob you of happiness and self-esteem. You can change the way you feel. In fact, you owe it to yourself to feel GREAT!

BRILLIANT AND POWERFUL!!! This book is pure gold and a breath of fresh air that provides hope and tools to achieve joy and enlightenment. Dr. Burns conveys the message that your suffering as well as your negative thoughts and feelings are not symptoms of mental disorder but instead are the expression of what is most awesome and beautiful about you. Warning: This is not a book in which you just read page after page and expect change in your life. You must do the valuable exercises in order to transform your life radically and rapidly. If you are ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work, this is an outstanding book for you!

The long-awaited follow-up to Dr. Burns's classic text is here, and it doesn't disappoint! Detailed and thorough, with the author's recognizable humor and light touch, Feeling Great will likely become the go-to volume for those seeking a comprehensive and compassionate view of CBT for depression and anxiety.
--Seth Gillihan, PhD, author of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Made Simple and The CBT Deck
Feeling Great is a must for anyone with depression and anxiety, describing in plain, clear language how we can all live happier, healthier and more successful lives. Dr. Burns is a visionary in the field of mental health and a genius at helping people overcome depression and anxiety. The psychotherapy model he has created, TEAM, is, in my opinion, the most important achievement in the history of mental health. I've offered TEAM therapy to hundreds of patients during my career and have seen the profound improvements this model creates in their lives, as well as in my own life.
