    5 Stars Effective Tool for Positive Mood Change
    I am still in the middle of reading this book…but so far I am delighted with its primary message: WE ALL HAVE CONTROL OVER OUR OWN MOODS! This book is filled with exercises, checklists and mood inventories…all designed to offer the reader an interactive role in their own healing.

    I have struggled with depression my entire life and because of this book am understanding the concept of healing myself through positive thoughts. I would recommend this book to anyone who struggles with depression, regardless of the severity.

    5 Stars A new beginning
    This book is a very good resource for those who are battling depression. Whether you are a manic depressive, or just battling low self-esteem, this book breaks down everything for you and even has work book exercises to help you pin point the problem, then work on it. I highly recommend it.

    4 Stars Ten days to Self-Esteem
    10 Days to Self Esteem is a staple in my practice working with clients coping with depression and anxiety. This is the one workbook where clients will consistently complete the exercises and homework. They have shared that the techniques are understandable and they can see their progress. The Cost benefit analysis is the one technique, however, clients /patients find dificult initially; but then catch on. My clients see improvement in themselves once they go through the entire workbook and that the most important. Thanks so much!

    4 Stars A Helpful book
    I liked this book. It helped me alot. It was easy to understand but you have to write in it ALOT! You should get “The Feeling Good Handbook” by Dr. David Burns as well. Dr. Burns has you to read different chapters of the book to go along with Ten Days. I had to stop reading Ten Days and get the Feeling Good Handbook before I could finish.

    4 Stars Practical steps to Mindfulness
    This is an excellent companion to Ellen J. Langer’s “Mindfulness”. It provides practical techniques for becoming mindful in small decisions that can add up to big problems or big benefits.
