This workbook breaks down Cognitive Behavioral Therapy- CBT - into common sense language in an actionable workbook format.
Instead of psychobabble, phrases and ideas explained in an easy to understand way and exercises giving application opportunities.
The author is careful to state that this is not meant to replace treatment for diagnosed mental health conditions or their treatment.
An insightful exercise book in a KU format.

Before reading this book, I was somewhat familiar with cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT. I knew it was a treatment for certain disorders, including addiction, depression, and phobias. After seeing people I know struggling with depression, and addiction, I was anxious to read this and learn more. This is a good introduction to the subject – easy to understand, and it includes techniques and examples. There are case histories as well. I’ve already recommended it to a few friends.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

4.75/5
Easy and interesting book to read on CBT... And short! Provides a good intro on psychology and this concept. I think the book had a few editing/spelling mistakes which is why it is 4.75. Also, the book confused me with the first chapters of it seemed another book at the end. Is this the same book or not?
A good, quick read. I'd read other books by this author. I also enjoyed reading his author's note. The author really was interested in helping people and helping them learn about various psychological topics.

My one and only experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was about nine years ago while visiting a female counselor with my then-girlfriend. If I'd had this little book with me I would have known what the h*ll she was talking about and my then-girlfriend may have been better prepared to continue with the therapy than she was at that time. A highly informative book that is better presented than most and written by someone that knows their stuff. Recommended.

My slugs often have mental issues, ranging from anxiety to depression and so have undergone CBT, (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and have found it most useful. Their smiles have returned and they can continue to lead rich and fulfilling lives. This book by Jonny Bell is an excellent starting point, has been well-researched and gives great examples. We're all very impressed and happier in our household for having read this book.

Perfect for those that are interested in brushing up on their cognitive behavior research. As a psychology minor, I found this book well written, informative, and easy to follow. The author did a great job engaging the reader. I believe that even those that aren't well versed in the subject will enjoy learning a little more about cognitive behavioral therapy. Great read!

Basic outline
More examples would make this less theoretical. A good, basic understanding of how CBT works. No attempt to quantify how many people this approach helps.

Some awesome information, but a lot of stuff was mentioned without any evidence to back up the claims, which really put me off and made me question the whole book.
