   This book provides in-depth, step-by-step strategies for defeating depression. The exercises and insights in this book are very much in contrast to prevailing counseling practices, which assume that if you merely talk about your depression, it will eventually resolve itself (and is more effective at providing revenue for counselors than it is at actually helping clients).
   
   Every page of this book contains helpful things that you can ACTUALLY DO to combat your depression. Not all of them will work for every individual, but the reader is free to try any of them, to see what works for themselves. Depressed people often feel powerless. This book is very empowering.
   
   This book is based on "Rational Emotive Therapy" (also called "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy"). But it is very practical, not theoretical. The basic idea is that you have enough control over your own thoughts and behaviors that you can break the cycle of depression by changing your thinking processes, and changing the activities that you choose to do.
   
   If you want a book that will allow you to passively "feel good" without investing any effort, this isn't for you. But if you want to get to work and re-gain control of your life, then you gotta buy this book!!!

If you've battled depression for a long period of time or are new to the diagnosis, this book can drastically help you and help you turn your life back around. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the only way to go!!!

   This workbook has been exactly what I have needed. I always wanted to change my negative thinking and get out of my depressed moods, but I never knew how. I have been using it in my counseling sessions, and it has done wonders. I'm halfway through, and I have already sensed positive differences in my thinking patterns. I'm no longer thinking negatively or sinking into a deep hole. If I find myself sinking, this book has shown me ways to snap out of it quickly. You need to do the exercises the book tells you to do! You can only get out of it whatever you put into it. As long as you can fully dedicate yourself to change and follow the exercises and easy to read and understand text, then you can find your way out of depressed, negative thinking and gain true inner peace, higher self-worth and increased self-confidence. I highly recommend this workbook for anyone who wants to get out of negative thinking and become a more positive and happy person.
