What people said
It's helped me tremendously with moderate depression and anxiety. For anyone suffering, I'd highly recommend just giving the book and its exercises a try.
I was so depressed I could only read the first chapter or so. And it still changed my life in the end and I live by that first chapter.
It's helped me reframe my mind to give me more control over what I think and feel, to separate the true reality of life
