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?

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!
