[For The Love of books · Rating 3 out of 5]

My goal this year is to work on my cognitive distortions and negative thinking. This book did have useful helps and hints, going forward I’m not sure how many of them I will use in my endeavours to be more positive. Although an awareness of negative thinking and the impacts have made me think I still want to pursue this goal. This book is not life changing and perhaps I will refer back to it in time if struggling.

I learned lots from this book. perhaps it's just me, but I found some of it to be a bit hard to follow as it felt disorganised in terms of its flow. But I will most definitely take away a lot and put a lot into practice from this book.

I started reading books similar to this one to suggest to patients who are reluctant to start therapy but needed guided help. I’m not a self help book kind of person; however, I found this one practical and easy to read. It will be one of my top recommendations.

This is an excellent book. Chase Read deals with the problem of negative thinking in a clear and gentle manner. He is encouraging and his positivity radiates throughout.
The book is easy to read and has helped me understand the reason for my negative thinking and, after following his advice, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
