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.

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.

This should be free

The book itself is only about two hours long and does not cover too much information outside of what you can find on the internet when googling CBT. It seems like more of explaining what CBT is, in layman’s terms, and who it can help. It doesn’t really give you in depth tools, relative insight, or practices for using CBT but rather recommends finding a therapist. I feel like this audio book was based off a pamphlet for new therapist delving into CBT practice. Would not recommend if you are looking to apply theory and insight to your own life.

Feels like written by a chat bot

Raw descriptions, bullet pointed order. No soul. No insights here.
Slideshow of some sort. Credit bye.

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.
