Publisher's Summary

At least one in five adults in the US experiences some form of mental illness every year - a clear indication that the number of Americans who are battling mental illnesses is on an upward trajectory. This reality has called upon various methods of treatment, but none seems as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy. 

CBT is a method of treatment that embraces the best aspects of both talk therapy and behavioral therapy. It has been exceedingly successful because it offers a lot of flexibility and the results are long-lasting - a stark contrast to most other forms of treatments such as medication, which can be rigid, expensive, and not to mention cyclical. 

According to CBT practitioners, behaviors, thoughts, and feelings are intertwined. A person’s feelings are informed by their perceptions, which might be accurate or distorted. Hence, CBT steps in to expose cognitive distortions and promote positive thoughts, thus effectively restoring mental health. 

This audiobook makes a foray into cognitive behavioral therapy and enlightens us on how CBT is helping alleviate various mental health conditions.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

I endorse this book for individuals who are looking for practical tools and interventions to help with specific issues/problems.

terrible mispronunciations in the narration

The narrator was awful, clearly not a professional, and mispronounced many normal words like "ruminating" and "catastrophe"

It explains almost everything you needed

I found this book truly inspiring and helpful. William E Joyce telling an easy to follow self help guide to mastering the benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The idea behind CBT is that you can change your thoughts and therefore improve your reaction to emotions that you cannot change in situations, helping you with anxiety, stress, and depression to name a few.

Informative and effective guide

Love it. Gives me so much knowledge and information. Being one who has been diagnosed with MCI.

Definitely recommend it.

Well written! This book has helped me manage my anxiety tremendously. I highly recommended for everyone.

Five Stars

The techniques described in this book are very natural. Basically, it aims to train the readers on different ways and techniques to redirect our thinking to more positive and constructive habits. By identifying problems, setting goals and overcoming obstacles cognitive behavioral science can benefit nearly everyone.

It was worth listen

In the book, there are ideas on how to change negative thought into positive ones. If you want to let go of negativity and start conditioning your brain for positivisty, this book is for you.

This is a very easy and clear book

The author explained specifically and clearly the techniques in overcoming fear. I was not familiar with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) until I read this book. It provides an excellent introduction of the basic principles behind this therapy. I appreciate how the step by step awareness to change the mindset is well explained.

It explains almost everything you needed

I would highly recommend this book to others looking to change their minds for the better-we cannot change our chemicals but we CAN learn to override the trouble they can cause to a point and this book really helps with that. I have children with these issue and I can see working with them to teach them these skills and help them get their own issues under control.

Awesome Book

I found it easy to understand and straight forward. I will be going back and doing a much closer listen and spending some time on the lessons to get the most out of this book and the skills presented.

A waste of 2 hours

A waste of 2 hours if you're looking for a book that might help you. if you're learning CBT as a practitioner you may as well read the index and or a decent CBT manual. All this does is describe what circumstances CBT is used in and doesn't provide any technique. The narrator is terrible as well. Complete waste of time.

fascinating guide

I find this book to have some useful additional skills, as well as some helpful forms and contracts.

not a voice for such a serious subject

good lord! I've only listened to the sample and refuse to buy this purely on the voice reading it!!
get a grip.

Great one!!

It provides the tools to help identify the mental challenges that hold us back from living our best life. I suffer from anxiety and stress and since becoming a parent I have dealt with intrusive thoughts and self doubt.

This audible is one of the best!

This book helps you to understand and take action when it comes to unwanted negative thoughts and feelings. I love the "Chapter Summary and Homework" sections because they turn each topic into steps you work on right away.

Very good description

So helpful to have a clear and concise roadmap for letting go of worries and improving your mood!

This audio book is really awesome!

I particularly appreciate the care he takes in addressing nuances to our experiences. I strongly recommend this book as a standalone resource for the “walking worried,” as a supplement to those currently working with a therapist, and as a primer to mental health practitioners who do not use CBT.

Concise and direct to the point.

In CBT Made Simple, William E Joyce has created a wonderful resource for those who have had difficult inner experiences that can interfere with life

Quality content and narration!

This book does a great job explaining how CBT principles apply to common problems like procrastination and stress. It provides great worksheets and concrete plans for how to put the CBT skills into use, making it good for people with and without previous exposure to CBT.

It explains almost everything you needed

I found chapter 8 working through worry fear and anxiety; and chapter 10 be kind to yourself the most helpful to me.
