THanks Penny.
That Dr Seuss looks like a cracker of a book... I know Im gonna get that one for sure!!!
I actually havent read that book by David Burns... might have a look at it.
I was interested in that metacognition book that mattdds talked about in an above neverending post. THat book he mentioned was written in 2001 i think. Has anyone read any good book about metacognition recently? That one will cost me over 100 bucks so im wondering if there is a newer and better and cheaper on around to buy :)
Or maybe one of those online reading places where they adobe the books for ya to browse.
> Well, I suppose I could put down something like "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by David Burns M.D., which I'm almost certain EVERYONE on the board has read or at least heard of, but I don't know that it was really life-changing for me.

> Honestly? The books I have found to be life-changing were children's books, like the Little House on the Prairie series (taught me about healthy familial life and certain moral values) and "Oh The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss, that I actually got for college graduation from a friend. That book was much more of a mood-lifter than "Feeling Good" or any positive affirmation book I've ever seen.
