Description
Book Introduction
“A book ten times more amazing than ‘Feeling Good’!” 40 years of research and 40,000 hours of treatment know-how Author of "Feeling Good," which has sold over 5 million copies worldwide David D. Burns' latest work! #1 Amazon Depression Book **The Ultimate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Guidebook** David D. Burns' previous work, "Feeling Good," was recognized as the best treatment for overcoming depression and anxiety, and was selected by American mental health experts as the best book for patients with depression. One study reported that 65 percent of depressed patients who read "Feeling Good" recovered or showed significant improvement within four weeks without any other treatment. A three-year follow-up study found that these individuals maintained their recovery without any further psychological treatment or medication. But David D. Burns was not satisfied. I was wondering what to do about the 35 percent of patients who did not recover even after reading 'Feeling Good'. "Feeling Great" is the result of this thinking. Like "Feeling Good," it invites readers with detailed and friendly explanations and encourages active participation so that they can improve their symptoms on their own. There's no need to be intimidated by the thickness of the book. Just find the part that explains the technique that works best for you and read that part over and over again whenever you're having a hard time to keep yourself in a good mood. Additionally, "Feeling Great" is a book written for mental health professionals. Dr. Burns is also passionate about training mental health professionals, as evidenced by the fact that over 50,000 physicians and therapists have attended his training programs to learn cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. This is why he stated that he wrote this book with the intention of helping not only patients suffering from depression and anxiety, but also mental health professionals who are looking for better treatments for depression and anxiety. I hope this book will provide warm and practical comfort to all who long for a normal, ordinary life, with five happy days and two miserable days out of the week. |

Into the book
1.
We feel as we think.
In other words, negative emotions like depression or anxiety come from our thoughts, not from the environment in which we live.
2.
The negative thoughts that upset us are almost always distorted and twisted.
This is not true.
Depression and anxiety are the oldest tricks in the world.
3.
If you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.
--- p.21
People sometimes think about themselves and their lives in quite illogical and even self-defeating ways.
We make distorted or misleading interpretations of a situation without even realizing it.
That's a cognitive distortion, a deeply flawed way of thinking about yourself and the world, a way of fooling yourself.
And if you feel depressed or anxious, it's almost always because you've lied to yourself.
--- p.42~3
If you feel depressed and anxious, it almost certainly means that your thoughts are distorted in a negative way.
But I repeat, there is good news.
If you change your thoughts, your feelings will change.
--- p.51
Many of the powerful techniques I've developed will help you transform depression and anxiety into joy.
I hope you all feel inspired too.
I'm excited to share all these secrets with you, the readers.
Let's work together to change your emotions!
--- p.67
The tools I describe in this book represent the next revolution in psychotherapy and behavior change.
These techniques are powerful.
Unless there are special circumstances, I believe it can be used directly by people who are not currently receiving treatment.
--- p.102
You too can create your own little miracles while reading this book!
--- p.143
The rapid and dramatic changes seen with TEAM-CBT are amazing and rewarding.
The thrill of seeing someone's tears and despair transform into joy and laughter is something that is hard to forget.
To borrow Karen's words, it's truly a 'miracle'.
--- p.145
I hope you'll enjoy and fail shamelessly as you solve all the practice problems in this book!
--- p.151
We now see super-fast, rapid recoveries quite commonly.
Such profound changes have been common in several treatments using the techniques described in this book.
Many of my patients have experienced a significant reduction or complete elimination of negative emotions in a single intensive psychotherapy session.
--- p.183
Negative thinking involves several cognitive distortions, in addition to overgeneralization.
In fact, Ariella's negative thought, "I am not lovable," contains all ten distortions.
And there are countless techniques to try for each distortion.
When one technique doesn't work, try another.
Just keep trying until you find a technique that works.
--- p.311
If you're like most people, you have a "self" or "identity" that is judged or evaluated based on a number of criteria, such as your income, intelligence, talent, success, appearance, race, and social status.
And when we feel depressed or unstable, we may feel that our 'self' is flawed or lacking.
This belief can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, shame, worthlessness, loneliness, and despair.
As you can see, the belief in the existence of a 'self' comes at a considerable cost.
--- p.499
I find satisfaction and joy in hanging out with flawed people, sharing our failures, weaknesses, and successes, and thus learning and growing together.
This is my 'higher dimensional solution'!
--- p.507
We can judge specific words and actions, but we cannot judge the 'self'.
If you understand this fact, your suffering will disappear.
Depression always exists in a cloud of abstraction, making us believe that our 'self' is lacking or that we can judge our 'self'.
--- p.524
The words, actions, and beliefs of others that are morally reprehensible can be properly judged and condemned.
But we cannot make meaningful judgments about other people's 'selves'.
The 'self' is merely an abstraction, while physical thoughts, feelings, and actions are real.
--- p.536
There are only specific flaws, mistakes, and shortcomings.
We make specific mistakes at specific times, on specific days, and in specific places.
And these mistakes can be corrected or accepted.
When we overgeneralize and think things like, "I messed up," "I shouldn't have made that mistake," or "This means I'm a bad father (or mother, or teacher)," we feel pain.
In other words, the belief that our 'self' can be judged is almost always the source of unhappiness.
--- p.545
Is relapse prevention training effective? I've treated nearly 40,000 patients struggling with severe depression and anxiety.
They always do relapse prevention training before they are discharged.
It should take at most 30 minutes.
For years, very few patients returned for tuning.
Almost all of them, too, returned to their light steps after just one or two treatments.
--- p.591
TEAM-CBT is the magic of a functioning world. TEAM-CBT allows the brain to assess the accuracy of our interpretations.
When we experience the magical feeling of changing our interpretation of negative thoughts and experiencing a rapid emotional shift immediately following, our brain is simply doing what it was designed to do. TEAM-CBT is a powerful medication that delivers the highest level of effectiveness.
--- p.617
After reading "Feeling Good," I became very curious about people who had not recovered from depression and who had tried expensive treatments, including psychotherapy and antidepressants, for many years without much success.
I wondered why they were stuck and how they could break free from it.
This new TEAM-CBT treatment and this book were born from these questions.

Publisher's Review
“A book ten times more amazing than ‘Feeling Good’!”
40 years of research and 40,000 hours of treatment know-how
Author of "Feeling Good," which has sold over 5 million copies worldwide
David D.
Burns' latest work!
★★Amazon's #1 Depression Book★★
★★The Best Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Guidebook★★
#Case 1
It was an ordinary evening.
After dinner, 12-year-old Ashley asked if she could go outside and play as usual, and her mother, Karen, readily agreed.
Bang! On that perfectly ordinary evening, Ashley lost her front teeth by the roots after being shot by a group of boys as a prank.
After the accident, Karen blamed herself and fell into a swamp of endless self-reproach, despair, and regret.
#Case 2
Marilyn was recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
Even though I've never smoked a cigarette in my life.
Having devoted herself to religious activities for a long time, she felt enraged at being deceived by God and despaired that she might die without ever finding her life partner.
Regrets about the alcoholism that once plagued him also came flooding back.
As my life was coming to an end, everything was a mess.
In addition to Karen and Marilyn, "Feeling Great" is filled with stories of people who have suffered severely from depression and anxiety for long periods of time.
How do those whose lives have been ruined by depression and anxiety find their way out of the swamp? The secret lies in David D.
It was only a few (sometimes just one) intensive treatments that Burns conducted!
The miracle of cognitive behavioral therapy!
If you change your thoughts, your feelings will change too.
David D.
Burns' intensive care treatment had dramatic results, almost miraculous.
Some may complain that many of the recovery stories and self-help techniques presented in the book are exaggerated.
In fact, many recovery stories are incredibly dramatic.
How on earth was this possible? The secret was cognitive behavioral therapy, utilizing techniques like "mood journaling," "positive reframing," and "magic dials."
In "Feeling Great" by David D.
It contains everything about cognitive behavioral therapy that Burns has studied for 40 years.
The book contains over 50 techniques, and the author applies the appropriate technique to each case, leading to a surprisingly quick change in 'thoughts' and even 'emotions'.
It also provides a detailed introduction to the process so that readers can self-treat themselves without the help of a professional, using various treatment cases and techniques as a reference.
Let's take a look at how 'positive restructuring' and 'magic dial', representative techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy, are easy and simple to use, yet have great effects.
Sarah suffered from a phobia of germs and was completely exhausted from her obsession with cleanliness.
However, Sarah's actions can be positively reframed as a warm expression of her desire to keep her family safe.
It was just a little too much.
Now that you have identified the positive qualities contained in these negative thoughts and events, you need to lower your negative emotions.
It is necessary to reduce negative emotions to the 'appropriate' level desired by the client, as completely eliminating negative emotions can lead to the disappearance of positive qualities as well.
The technique used at this time is the magic dial.
Is there any scientific basis for cognitive behavioral therapy?
This simple technique is very important in that it helps to overcome the patient's resistance to treatment.
The most important thing in treating depression and anxiety is to change the mind of patients who refuse treatment.
It may sound somewhat odd that a patient suffering from depression and anxiety would refuse treatment.
But in reality, many patients refuse treatment and become 'stuck' in their depression and anxiety.
Freud called this 'resistance', but no one has been able to properly explain the reason for resistance until now.
But cognitive behavioral therapy breaks down this resistance with simple techniques like positive reframing and the magic dial.
By revealing that the patient's fixation on depression and anxiety was a psychological mechanism to preserve his or her positive qualities.
Cognitive behavioral therapy also has neuroscience and brain science evidence.
David D.
Mark Noble, a renowned scientist who was amazed by Burns' public treatment and its dramatic effects, investigated the neuroscience and brain science basis of cognitive behavioral therapy and contributed his findings to this book.
It is estimated that there are 100 billion nerve cells in our brain.
Each neuron connects with hundreds to thousands of other neurons, forming a network.
The network of nerve cells changes slightly every time we encounter a new stimulus or think of a new thought.
And repeated exposure to similar stimuli and thoughts strengthens existing networks.
Cognitive behavioral therapy targets this network of nerve cells.
In situations where negative thoughts about a certain event are overactive, it helps to form new neural networks by inducing people to think about the problem differently, thereby changing their thoughts and emotions.
“I read ‘Feeling Good’ and still haven’t recovered or improved.
What about the 35 percent of people?
I believe I have found the answer, and that is why I wrote this book, Feeling Great.”
David D.
Burns' previous work, "Feeling Good," was recognized as the best treatment for overcoming depression and anxiety, and was selected by American mental health experts as the best book for patients with depression.
One study reported that 65 percent of depressed patients who read "Feeling Good" recovered or showed significant improvement within four weeks without any other treatment.

But David D.

"Feeling Great" is the result of this concern.
Like "Feeling Good," it invites readers with detailed and friendly explanations and encourages active participation so that they can improve their symptoms on their own.
There's no need to be intimidated by the thickness of the book.
Just find the part that explains the technique that works best for you and read that part over and over again whenever you're having a hard time to keep yourself in a good mood.
Additionally, "Feeling Great" is a book written for mental health professionals.
Dr. Burns is also passionate about training mental health professionals, as evidenced by the fact that over 50,000 physicians and therapists have attended his training programs to learn cognitive behavioral therapy techniques.
This is why he stated that he wrote this book with the intention of helping not only patients suffering from depression and anxiety, but also mental health professionals who are looking for better treatments for depression and anxiety.
I hope this book will provide warm and practical comfort to all who long for a normal, ordinary life, with five happy days and two miserable days out of the week.
