Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a relatively short-term, results-oriented type of psychotherapy, which has a clear goal and uses a more practical approach for tackling psychological disorders. The goal usually is to change behavior or thought patterns that cause people to feel the way they do. CBT is employed for treating a large number of mental ailments or disorders from insomnia to relationship issues to substance abuse or anxiety/depression. The therapy involves altering an individual's behavior patterns and attitude by concentrating on their thoughts, visual imagery, underlying beliefs and overall attitude (held in the person's cognizance), and impacting the way it processes a person's behavior and manner of dealing with psychological problems.

This book is great for an individual to learn human behavior.The good thing about the book is the code where you can easily identify each characteristic pertains to human behavior. Interesting part is when you were able to read a person you can also learn to adjust by knowing the modest way of responding to a person specially those who needs special care

Confused by all the great reviews for this.
Calling this the 'ultimate guide' is a bit of a misnomer. It it not likely to improve your conversational skills, unless said skills are so low that you have trouble knowing how to order a meal from a menu. Part of the problem is that much of this book gives very obvious platitudes about what makes good conversation without actually giving practical help in how to acquire these skills - e.g : good conversation invites others, is inspiring, often involves humour, etc etc. People who need help conversing already know what good conversation looks and sounds like - they want tips and advice in how to acquire those skills. This book does not provide that - there are others on audible that do, so don't waste your money/credit.
