This is a book you need to read again and again. It explains in simple terms what all that stuff going on in your head is about and how to control it. If you follow the techniques listed in each section your mind will achieve a proper ‘gym’ workout and in time you will become calm, positive and able to take life in your stride.

This little book is the perfect introduction to CBT, and whilst I have read many books on the subject, this little gem has become one of my favourites. I originally borrowed it from my local library but decided to purchase my own copy along with two other copies for friends.

I have read a multitude of books on this subject, so the majority of information presented isn't new to me. However it is presented in a manner which makes it very accessible. I have been picking it up every day over the last week to re go over different parts from it. It's not the longest book at 183 pages but those pages are filled with exercises, worksheets and useful information presented in friendly language. It's like all the other books I've read have been condensed down into this little number.

I'd thoroughly recommend this book as an introduction to CBT or as something to dip into when you don't have much time or are feeling overwhelmed.

Very helpful, in my opinion better than learning cbt through a counsellor.

I loved it! In a world full of blaming our circumstances and dwelling on our reactions to things we can't control, this workbook is a succinct, active, and refreshing guide to always remember that we have the power to control what we think about. That said, this is a neutral, slow, book, not a self-help type of book that'll leave you with the hype of overconfidence only to crash a couple of days later. Thank you, doctors! 🎉

Good tool

Practical and direct, well organized. Also includes some useful resources in the form of book recommendations and websites. I haven't explored these yet.

OK if you believe CBT can help you.
