Contains very helpful information!

I received a free Audible redemption code in exchange for an honest review.

Performance by David Martin - 2 stars!
Mr. Martin's performance remained stilted for the entire narration. Although he had a clear voice, I found his style distracting which made it slightly harder to comprehend the information being presented.

Content - 3.5 stars!
Author Jason Wallace clearly defines terms, gives the history of different psychological treatments and conditions in addition to explaining how CBT can help anyone with a negative mindset retrain their brain. I had previous exposure to CBT in an abbreviated form courtesy of a work stress clinic I completed through Kaiser Permanente Mental Health services in the spring of 2019. For me, this book helped to reinforce some key concepts I'd already been exposed to in my work stress clinic. This material definitely serves as a good reminder and enhancement to the knowledge I'd already gained previously.

Editing - 3 stars!
There were some awkwardly worded sentences and a few positive statements that were then contradicted in the very next statement. The editor obviously missed these small but very obvious errors.

Overall - 3 stars!
The info is good but digesting it was hampered a bit by the narrator David Martin's very stilted delivery. For me, his narrating style was unfortunately eerily similar to a text-to-speech narration. If the narration had been better, I'd personally listen to the parts of this book that I found the most helpful again.

Final opinion
My recommendation to anyone listening to this material for the very first time is to bookmark sections you'd like to re-listen to and better digest to help remind you of actions you can take to rewire your brain.

Text book style read in robotic way

Good information, but not as user friendly as they claim. Sterile. No entertainment value. However loaded with self help information for those wanting to improve their thoughts and therefore their life experiences.

great information

The narrator did a terrible reading. He talked too fast in some spots, and too slow in others.

Wow, but not in a good way

I had to stop listening about 45 minutes in. I couldn't take the awkward pauses constantly, and the monotone narrator had to keep going back to get words correct. I don't even recall any of the information I heard because of all of the shortcomings.
