A call for advice: I’m looking into cognitive behavioral therapy—specifically, I’m planning to use an online resource or a book to learn CBT methods in hopes of preventing my depression from recurring. It looks like these methods have a good chance of working, although the evidence isn’t as strong as for in-person CBT. At this point, I’m trying to decide which resources to learn from. Any recommendations or anecdotes would be appreciated.
Free guided meditations for “The Mindful Way Through Depression” (get some practice before using “working with difficulty” meditation):
streamable or downloadable

I″v had success with Introducing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: A Practical Guide
I recommend Feeling Good by David Burns. It’a a very good overview into CBT, covers all types of medication and was also recommended by Lukeprog IIRC.
Mind Over Mood is ace!
I am also interested in learning more about CBT.
