A basic and helpful starter guide...

There is empirical evidence that shows that cognitive behavioral therapy is quite effective in treating several conditions, including personality, anxiety, mood, eating, substance abuse, and psychotic disorders. Treatment is often manualized, as specific psychological disorders are treated with specific technique-driven brief, direct, and time-limited treatments.

Cognitive behavioral therapy involves teaching a person new skills to overcome dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systematic approach. The evidence shows that cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in treating many conditions, including (and as mentioned above) obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, and negative thoughts about oneself. With the vast amount of success shown by the use of this therapy, it is one of the most important tools that researchers and therapists have to treat mental disorders today.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: How to Free Yourself from Your Inner Monologue and Eliminate Negative Self Forever by Stuart Killan is a basic and helpful starter guide that contains useful – but not authoritative – information. Any person who is suffering prolonged symptoms as outlined above should always seek professional counselling and advice.

Merely covers the basics, also not for people who compulsively think negatively. But some good tips nonetheless

Excellent written recap

As a personal development coach for 20 years I seldom get tired of tapping into these suggestions at least once a year. What I particularly liked about this concise version is the reminder on using these how-to exercises can support our forward movement. Especially at this time when our society is emerging from shut downs, scary death tolls reports, and racial discrimination increases. I enjoyed reading this and recommend it to others no matter what self-development stage you feel you are at. This timely ebook provides simple to use pathways on how to keep ourself grounded.

I have learned something about myself. Apparently size matters. I didn't notice how short this work was when I got it. I can't quite call it a book, because only children's books have 26 pages. That being said, it does have useful information. Maybe I am just narrow minded and cannot fully appreciate the authors attempt to target a new audience, the kind that reads posts and not books. If that is the case then kudos. I on the other hand would have liked to hear a bit more, including maybe some research on the subject. Sapolsky has spoiled me to no end. I can however appreciate that the theory is easy to understand and that there is a practical part with specific exercises you can try out.

Good advice, but seems a little simplistic.

I truly enjoyed the advice, and believe in the power of positive thinking, up to a point. But I know several people for whom just "think positive" will not be enough to help them, because it's just too simple, and they need more detailed answers. But I do like that it is a quick, easy read.

It’s not bad, but lacked professionalism

In my opinion, this book lacked the professionalism of citing sources. There were many references to “experts” and “research shows” but there was a lack of displaying where those studies came from and who these experts are. It’s not a bad read, but I’m not going to use this book as a source, simply because it lacked the citation.

[Kristy · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was short and offered a lot of good information about why/how negative thoughts enter and stay. I wish it would have provided more creative ways of preventing it or helping with it as I've tried most of the ones it suggested. But still might be useful to others.

[Patryk Piekarz · Rating 4 out of 5]

A must read during stressful times.

Unfortunately the book isn't as long as I wish it to be but for just only half dozen of pages you will think of only great wisdom flowing straight into your present moment.

[Gianni · Rating 1 out of 5]

Vague explanations of the underlying concepts in cognitive behaviour, as well as advices with no concrete steps and overused clichés (i.e. “think positive”) reflect a weak grasp of the subject. A badly written book trying to explain complex, abstract ideas and falling short of even trying.

[Uche Ozams · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fair but Not Impressed

I don't have much to say but my expectations weren't met. Maybe it's because of the size, being a shortread but this book seems like an unimpressive attempt to impress.

[Kristin Stracener · Rating 5 out of 5]

Self confidence

I loved that this was a short selection out of a book that focuses on how we think about ourselves. If you're lacking self confidence, feel negative about every day things you do or just depressed and can't think of why, maybe it's your inner self.

Pamphlet

Pro: The content has some validity, and it was free.

Con: It's a pamphlet and not a book. There is very little material to read, and the information it does contains can easily be found online.

An article, not a book

This too all of ten mins to read. This could have had more information in it but it didn't have anything that is not common knowledge or what anyone knew

[Dawn Terrigino · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent and short

I am a psychologist and this will be great for me to recommend to them especially because it is free! It is concise and very easy to understand ,perfect!

[Michele Rice Carpenter · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book introduces basic cognitive behavior therapy. It really needed more depth. Covering research and going into depth about techniques and uses would have helped its rating.
