Life changing book

Where does Feeling Good rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the #1 audiobook for anyone who has ever suffered from the slightest bit of depression in his/her life. The techniques like Vertical Arrow, 3 column technique, etc really work and you will feel instantly happy. There is no other self-help book on the planet that is more helpful than this book and I'm not exaggerating.

What does George Newbern bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator is good. It's like David himself is reading the book for you.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, it changed my life and it will change yours too!

Any additional comments?

Take the burns depression test (search BDT on google) and if you score anything over 10 then this is a must-have book for you.

Such a positve experience

My therapist recommended this book on my first appointment. I hesitated and got it a few weeks after. This book did more for me than my therapist ever did. It got me out of my depression and I can use the knowledge as I go back into depression to help keep me out. I cannot say enough about this book and bought two physical copies to give to loved ones that struggle as well.

Outstanding, a great treatise on the subject

Worth your time , long but very thorough.
He emphasizes the cognitive therapy approach.
At end it includes a great consumer/patient guide to antidepressent medications side effects and their interactions with other medications and foods.
I was very impressed with his theory of limited treatment.
He presents a realistic look at treatments not pie in the sky type stuff. Really helped.

👍👍👍

Very well written and lots of good info. I took the depression test when I started the book and again right before finishing and my number has already decreased some and I’ve noticed changes in myself just by listening and completing some of the exercises. I really like the doctors philosophies!
