Feeling Great is based on 40 years of research and more than 40,000 hours of treating individuals with severe mood problems. The goal is not just a rapid and complete elimination of negative feelings but the development of joy and enlightenment. In Feeling Great, Dr. David Burns reveals that our negative moods do not result from what's wrong with us, but rather what's right with us. And when you listen and suddenly hear what your negative thoughts and feelings are trying to tell you, suddenly you won't need them anymore, and recovery will be just a stone's throw away.
