In Ten Days to Self-Esteem, Dr. David Burns presents innovative, clear, and compassionate methods that have helped hundreds of thousands of people identify the causes of their mood slumps and develop a more positive outlook on life!
Do you wake up dreading the day? Do you feel discouraged with what you've accomplished in life? Do you want greater self-esteem, productivity, and joy in daily living?
If so, you will benefit from this revolutionary way of brightening your mood without drugs or lengthy therapy. All you need is your own common sense and the easy-to-follow methods revealed in this book, presented by one of the country's foremost authorities on mood and personal relationship problems.
You will learn that:
You feel the way you think: Negative feelings like guilt, anger, and depression do not result from the bad things that happen to you, but from the way you think about these events. This simple but revolutionary idea will change your life!
You can change the way you feel: You will discover why you get depressed and learn how to brighten your outlook when you're in a slump.
You can enjoy your life: Discover the secrets to greater happiness, productivity, and intimacy.
Can a self-help book do all this? Studies show that two-thirds of depressed students of Dr. Burns's methods experienced dramatic relief in just four weeks without psychotherapy or antidepressant medications. Three-year follow-up studies revealed that readers did not relapse but continued to enjoy their positive outlook. Ten Days to Self-Esteem offers powerful new tools that provide hope and healing in ten easy steps. The methods are not difficult to apply. And research shows that they really work!
Feeling good feels wonderful—and you owe it to yourself to feel good!
Customer Reviews
Frustrated
I am frustrated- This book is awesome- BUT I have no way to use most of the book. The book is more of a worksheet that you need to fill out- and no way to do that using ibooks. You can't print that I have figured out and no way to cut and paste the charts into another program. It was a waste of money.
Shouldn't be sold as an iBook
If i could give negative stars, i would. The problem is not the material itself, but the presentation of the material.
As indicated by ktipadiphone, the book cannot be used as intended, and should not be sold as an iBook. Shame on apple's quality control and on anyone (especially Burns) who was part of the decision to place this book in the iBook store. Not only can you not print the worksheets (or, obviously, photocopy them as the book suggests), they would be terrible copies, if you could. The "worksheets" are extremely low resolution images of worksheets that look like bad photocopies themselves. They show up about the size of a 5x7 on the iPad, and the text on the worksheets is already blurry at that size.
In addition, the only hyperlinks are between the table of contents and the chapter or appendix headings. So, even though Burns refers the reader to other pages within the book (to view the worksheets, for example), the text is not linked to these spots in the book. I was hoping for some Apple magic, allowing one to fill out the worksheets as electronic forms. Instead we get less than what one gets from the printed book. I'll be seeking a refund.
