Life Changing

By far the best book I have ever read. It changed the way I think , the way I listen to others and the way I see life . I am so thankful to the writer for this treasure. I read it twice so far and keep coming back to the exercises every time I face any issues . The writer made sure that he addressed each and every thing you might be feeling or thinking and guide you how to be stronger, love yourself and how to deal with life and people . I advise everyone to read it .

The best

It is so releaving to find out that we all are human and make mistakes and all the misery we have comes mostly from our thoughts. Book has lots of techniques to use to overcome the parttern of negative thinking. Also I have to add that the reader's voice is somehow calming :)

3 key takeaways of this book

Emotional and psychological health as well as physical is a vital factor for high performance in Pro life.
 
A top notch practitioner and therapist David D. Burns, M.D., in his bestseller book Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy outlines scientifically proven techniques to cure anxiety, guilt, pessimism, procrastination, low self-esteem, and other "black holes" of depression even without drugs.

3 key takeaways of this book: 
# Feeling good everyday is possible even in harsh conditions. Recognise what causes your mood swings, analyse the cause of your emotion and learn most of it.
# Avoid addiction to love and approval. It slows down personal growth. It can be as dangerous as negative thoughts which lead to negative feelings which lead to particular most likely not in personal favor behavior and lower performance.
# Practice Judo in detection of automatic thoughts and distractions. Recruit Judo techniques to gather power of negative automatic thinking patterns, criticism, "do-nothingism" moments, anger, fear and guilt.

The only self help book that actually worked

After going through dozens and dozens of self help books this was the one that actually worked for me. Effective techniques that actually make sense and skills to practice that help you for the rest of your life.

worth trying

Loved it and I will always recommend it, especially to people who can't afford therapy (might not completely be as helpful as therapy but it is a good start ). people and problems are individual and while it might not solve everything, it's worth trying.

brilliant!

easy to understand, out of the box new idea for me. I really like challenging myself so this filled the bill. This type of self improvement will stay with in schelude for a long time! I also like the fact that this is based on research and studies, in some respect clinical.
