 CBT for Dummies December 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
At first glance a lot of the information in this book seems like common sense but, as the authors explain, it is quite rare for us to act in these ways. We tend to act in ways that are harmful to ourselves and our relationships and this book goes some way to showing you how to break out of these past moulds and create new ways of behaving. It follows the basic 'dummies' format, with various icons, cartoons, clear headings and 'part of tens' at the back, so if you know the format you will know what to expect. This book introduces CBT, helps you spot errors in your thinking, helps you define problems and goals, focuses on a few specific problems (like OCD, anger and low self esteem), helps you move on from past events and overcome obstacles, looks at ways to maintain your progress and to find a CBT professional, as well as way more besides. This also has an appendix with useful contacts and another of various CBT forms that you can use. Overall this is very comprehensive and I think that if you take the time to utilise the information explained to you and stick with it, this should offer up some real results. It is worth noting that even if you have no major issues that seem to be crippling your actions or outlook, this book still has much to offer to help you live more meaningfully and make small changes to get that little bit more out of life. A clear, informative read.

Wow!
This book has gotta be good 'cos all 15 people who reviewed it before me gave it 5 stars.
Now THATS the power of positive thinking!!
Its better than anti-depressants too.
And no. I am not having any issues with middle aged cynicism.
It really is a good book.
Only use sparingly on angsty(?), moody teenagers, though lol.
THIS BOOK IS A LIFE SAVER November 23, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've only read a couple of chapters so far and I'm already full of positive thinking and belief in myself and my ability to recover from post natal depression. The descriptions of depressive behaviour are so accurate, I feel the authors really understand what I've been going through. I feel as though the book was written with me in mind sometimes! The advice given is a lot of common sense and its achievable. I feel anyone whose struggled to find someone to understand their condition will be uplifted just by reading this book. I feel as though finally somebody out there really understands what's been going on in my head and so is very well qualified to help me recover. This book is a lifesaver, if I'd found it sooner I would have been much further on in my recovery. Everybody out there should read this book as it would be beneficial to anyone, with or without depression.

Before i purchased this book i was suffering from the most horrendous anxiety attacks and what i now know as depression.I was going to see a councilor to help me work through my problems but i found this no help.I was utterly desperate and then my GP recommended this book.By this time i was so bad i could barely leave the house.I was feeling so low taking my life seemed the only option then i discovered this book and it has literally saved my life.I am more positive i think more rationally and have a much more positive outlook on life.Please please if your feeling as desperate as i did just give this book a go what do you have to lose 10 pounds?Let this book help you on a new and more positive journey through your new and better life!
the best approach to solving life issues March 7, 2008
11 out of 16 found this review helpful
The cognitive approach to the mind is by far the most empirically sound way to deal with emotional problems. This book helps us to understand the science behind the method. I would only add the book FREE YOUR MIND by Anthony Stultz as a companion. Stultz shows us the ancient roots of CBT in Eastern wisdom and offers and updated system that incorporates the best of Buddhist insight and Western technique.
