Pessimism would have a lot more credibility as an ideology if the people who subscribed to it weren't lazy, weak-willed faggots with shitty lives and shittier habits who directly cause all of the problems they complain about.

i would rather read the stoics. the stoic philosophy is the basic frame for cbt.

the book is good for learning about the common pitfalls of thinking about stuff that most depressed people have in common. things like predicting the future, black and white thinking, catastrophical thinking.

have you read the book?

it also covers very basic stuff like eat enough, drink enough water which think most depressed people fuck up. if you live in terrible circumstances why should you feel great. if you eat nothing but junk food, almost never move, have no social interaction, then why should you feel great.
