National Bestseller – read by seven-time AudioFile Earphones Award winner, George Newbern

From renowned psychiatrist Dr. David D. Burns, the revolutionary volume that popularized Dr. Aaron T. Beck’s cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and has helped millions combat feelings of depression and develop greater self-esteem.

Anxiety and depression are the most common mental illnesses in the world, affecting 18% of the U.S. population every year. But for many, the path to recovery seems daunting, endless, or completely out of reach.

The good news is that anxiety, guilt, pessimism, procrastination, low self-esteem, and other "black holes" of depression can be alleviated. In Feeling Good, eminent psychiatrist, David D. Burns, M.D., outlines the remarkable, scientifically proven techniques that will immediately lift your spirits and help you develop a positive outlook on life, enabling you to:

  • Nip negative feelings in the bud
  • Recognize what causes your mood swings
  • Deal with guilt
  • Handle hostility and criticism
  • Overcome addiction to love and approval
  • Build self-esteem
  • Feel good every day
This groundbreaking, life-changing book has helped millions overcome negative thoughts and discover joy in their daily lives. You owe it to yourself to FEEL GOOD!

"I would personally evaluate David Burns' Feeling Good as one of the most significant books to come out of the last third of the Twentieth Century."—Dr. David F. Maas, Professor of English, Ambassador University

I really want to start this audiobook, but am confused regarding the PDFs/tables they speak of. Is this an extra purchase?

This book changed my life on reading it 11 years ago, newer techniques (such as the brilliant 'acceptance paradox'!) the author has developed are available in his later books and are also fantastic. These days I do the exercises weekly (or whenever I suspect myself slipping back into depression) and they are SO amazingly helpful, my scores on the depression test, after the CBT exercises are usually 'minimal depression'. Love listening to this audio version.
