Review Quotes: "Depression is one of the most common mental health problems, and with COVID-19 has increased. Two leading cognitive behavioral therapists offer important, evidence-based ways we can help ourselves by seeing how we can get caught up in unhelpful loops of thinking and behavior, and then act to set up different loops that can lift us from depression. Full of clinical wisdom, accessible, encouraging, and supportive, many depressed people will find key ideas and practices to help them."
