Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway Susan Jeffers

The author asserts that people's lack of decisiveness, whether in respect of work, relationships, money or life in general, is attributable mainly to fear. She claims that fear prevents them from doing what they really want and need to do in order to grow and achieve a sense of well-being, and that holding back through fear causes feelings of confusion, self-doubt, frustration, anger and helplessness. The aim of the book is to offer readers a path of re-learning, by means of which they can get rid of faulty thinking, feel the fear and push through it to turn anger into love and indecision into action.

Feeling Good:The New Mood Therapy
David D. Burns

Reviews The author, David D. Burns, M.D.æ , 10 August, 1999: Some people have asked about the changes in the 1999 edition of Feeling Good. What is new and different? Why did I revise the book? Let me say first what was NOT changed. All of the sections on how to use cognitive therapy to overcome depression are the same. Why is this? Several recent research studies published in scientific journals indicated that approximately two thirds of depressed people who were asked to read Feeling Good improved or recovered in just four weeks with no other therapy.......

Prozac Nation
Elizabeth Wurtzel

Customer Comments A reader from North Wales , 8 October, 1999 æ A loud and sometimes funny reminder that you are not alone I read this book at one of the worst periods of my life and found it a very sharp reminder that I was not the first person to be depressed and that there was help if I could climb out of myself to get it. Whilst I couldn't relate to the drugs angle (apart from the prescription variety) I could relate to the full of promise idea and the sense of despair. To Elizabeth Wurtzel I can only say thank you for reminding me that I was not alone. I would recommend this book to anyone who is going through depression, and for the people who are forced to leave with people going through depression. We are not an easy bunch to relate to and we can be intensly frustrating. this book offers a kind of explanation for what goes on in the head of a clinically depressed person- and proves that whilst you might feel like death you can still retain your sense of humour. A harrowing but hopeful book, this is essential reading.

Undoing Depression: What Therapy Doesn't Teach You and Medication Can't Give You
Richard O'Connor

From the Author
"I wanted to write a book to address the issue of preventing depression. The emphasis is too often focused on treatment after someone has hit rock bottom. There is a sense that depression is something that happens to you without warning. I disagree. I think there is a warning - that people do lead a depressed lifestyle before they feel depressed - and that people should be encouraged to believe there is a lot they can do to avoid hitting bottom and to make their recovery much faster and more effective. And because of my own personal experience with depression, I feel a strong desire to help prevent people from suffering what my family and I have gone through. So I've tried to lay out a roadmap for people to follow through recovery. I've taken the "practice wisdom" of good psychotherapy and put it into a form that people can follow to help themselves as they deal with depression in their thinking, their behavior, their emotions, their relationships, and their self-image."
