Very great book

I have several family members that suffer from depression and severe negative thoughts and this was an amazing resource. This was written so anyone that has any type of interest in Psychology can read, understand, and learn from. I cannot wait to read more books from this author.

Got some great suggestions

CBT is good to know if you suffer anxiety, especially if you don't want to take medications, or your medications aren't really working. I have always heart of people talking about cognitive behavioral therapy, but I never knew exactly what it was, so this book really helped me understand more about it. I'd say it is well describe and easy to understand, and it gives some suggestions on how to go about retraining your mind. Though this book didn't specifically suggest this, I am planning to incorporate Bible verse memorization and scripture meditation as a strategy. It has other ideas in it that I personally wouldn't use, but you can really use anything you like to retrain your brain. Anything that motivates, uplifts, and inspires. This book has helped me to understand more about CBT, and I plan on exploring and looking more into it.

Gives great suggestions

I really like this book and the suggestions it gives in helping you to change your mindset. I suffer from severe anxiety and listening this has given me a few different ideas and techniques in helping me to identify my obstacles, take better control of my thoughts, and be successful in taking back control over my life. I think the workbook portion is a huge bonus too because it truly helped me in identifying issues that were contributing factors that I hadn't even considered before.

Very easy to listen

I work in the mental health field and have had training on CBT and seen the results of this type of therapy. I found the book to be very easy to listen and understandable. If a person cannot (or will not) attend therapy in person this seems like the next best thing, especially if the depression and/or anxiety is not already too debilitating. Some people will need the professional help. If someone you love would benefit from CBT then you should listen this book as well.

Found it very useful

I found it very useful and interesting! It takes you through each of the seven ways to overcome your anxiety in an informative and interesting way. With easy to follow exercises to help along the way!

Very effective therapy

I've had my fair share of depression and anxiety in life and although I've never seen a therapist I've always looked for books on the subject as well as other psychological listens to better understand the subject. The phrase that caught my eye with this was "..learn to be your own therapist". As I've had family that has suffered from the same, I also realize that it can be beneficial in understanding loved ones and the struggles they are going through. Retrain Your Brain does a nice job of breaking down CBT and its background as well as identifying the different types of anxiety and depression so that you can work to alleviate them. The workbook format is very engaging and the examples bring the points to life very effectively.

Learned a lot from this book

I currently at 10 and a CBT group and I wanted to listen this book to see if it was going to be just as effective as going to a group that I have not learned a heck of a lot from. And so far I see some things in here about how to control your stress, anxiety, and depression along with the understanding that what fritters is for I like about this book did get a few breakdown the negative thought pattern to turn it into something positive and also helps you think about your core beliefs facing your fears and so much more I actually learned a lot from this book.

Provides great techniques

The techniques described in this book are very natural. Basically, it aims to train the listener on different ways and techniques to redirect our thinking to more positive and constructive habits. By identifying problems, setting goals and overcoming obstacles cognitive behavioral science can benefit nearly everyone. The book teaches you to challenge your thoughts and beliefs, and how to act on ways that are congruent with your new thought patterns. The book had plenty of beautiful examples to help guide the listener through difficult concepts. I noticed a couple of misspelled words, but they didn't disrupt the flow of the book. Overall I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to all.

Great book for self-aware

The disclaimer on should not be overlooked: "Attention! If you are suffering from serious depression, having thoughts of hurting yourself, or experiencing other major mental health issues, call a psychologist, psychiatrist, or other mental health professional." This is a great book for self-aware individuals who are mildly struggling with certain obstacles, and not for the seriously ill. As a workbook, the exercises are helpful and well presented. but it will get you to think differently.

Provides valuable information

This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in improving his or her life by employing the tools of cognitive behavioral therapy. It contains detailed chapters that illuminate a seven step therapeutic process that one can utilize to help ease negative emotions and anxiety. Furthermore, it is very clear, understandable way that should enable as well as experts in the field to follow and use the information presented in it very effectively. Finally, in addition to providing valuable information it offers a truncated, interesting history of cognitive behavioral therapy. Therefore, if you're looking to enhance your life you should buy this book, it can only make you feel better.
