2 Chicken for the Soul stories and then advice from a therapist. The therapist adds leading questions and exercises on how to improve for that issue. Some of the advice was helpful but it would be hard to change a big problem from a little snippet of advice.

Very helpful and beneficial methods to retrain the brain while choosing to do better, utilizing personal stories that are extremely relatable.
