Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David D. Burns. Burns’s research-grounded account of the cognitive and behavioural practices validated in clinical populations provides the most directly applicable available treatment of the CBT-based practices that the NICE evidence hierarchy places at the centre of evidence-based mental health maintenance. His account of the specific cognitive distortions, including catastrophising, all-or-nothing thinking, personalisation, and the other automatic thought patterns that difficulty triggers, and the evidence-based techniques for examining and modifying them, gives the founder who wants to engage with the clinical practices rather than the wellness industry’s adaptation of them the most research-grounded and most practically applicable available account of what those practices actually involve. Burns writes for a general audience without sacrificing clinical accuracy; the result is the most accessible available introduction to the CBT evidence base for the founder who wants to understand the practices at the level the research supports rather than the level the wellness market requires.
