Book Recommendation

Does anyone have any great book recommendations on living with anxiety and depression and how to cope with them? I've read 'Radical Acceptance" and found it super helpful and was wondering if there were any others available that were positive. Thank you.

There really isn't a one size fits all, because recovery is different from person to person.

For anxiety, The popular book would be "Dare" but that's basically an updated version of what the great Dr Claire Weekes early work was about. She was an amazing pioneer for anxiety.

For anxiety and depression, the old "Feeling Good" book by Dr David Burns is popular (and cheap), but some get turned off by it because well.. you'll see by some of the 1 star reviews on Amazon.

There's more that "I" would recommend, but they're not as mainstream popular, and may or may not work for you.

Another good book for anxiety is "At last a life and beyond" by Paul David.
