Title: Some timeless truth in this book -- take what you can and leave the rest
Product review: You don't have to read every page of this book and work every exercise offered in order to get some help in dealing with your depression. My copy of this book was published in 1980 and I refer back to it a couple of times a year as a refresher. I found great value in his 10 cognitive distortions list and have used them to catch myself in mid-thought and really begin to see how I put myself on the path to depression. The advice in this section of his book is timeless and useful. I have never done all the exercises and I have never used his wrist counter idea. Others may find it helpful or not. But I have lent this book to others who were experiencing depression and every one of them found something of value in the book.
