  A CBT-oriented text on self-treating depression. Somewhat helpful, but particularly interesting for some of the quasi-philosophical or even quasi-theological undertones -- for example, rejects any kind of essentialism in favor of a sort of Ockhamist nominalism. Some passages remind me of Nietzsche, for example on pp. 160f. (see snurl.com/burns_p160 for an excerpt) where he says people should learn not to become angry at others for behaving in the way they naturally are inclined to (he even compares lions and sheep, like in Genealogy 1.13 with hawks and lambs), saying we have no reason to condemn the lions for doing what they are born to do. In other words: there are no essences.
