Story5 out of 5 stars 4
This down-to-earth guide walks you through the four DBT modules, mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Each chapter explains how to practice the key skills and dives into the authors' own experiences to explore what works, what doesn't, and which skills work best for particular challenges. Journaling prompts help you work out how to fit the skills into your own day-to-day life, so you can make changes that work for you.

Great book, excellent overview of DBT skills
Reviewed: 06-14-24
I found this book by first listening to the authors' podcasts. I loved the accessibility of the skills in this book, and hearing things from both Michelle and Kate's perspectives. Hearing from both of them really makes the book more enjoyable and relatable. The book also gives an overview of the many acronyms used in DBT, and again gives both Michelle and Kate's thoughts on each letter of GIVE, STOP, DEARMAN, and others. My only criticisms are that the chapter bookmarks don't fully match up with the audio, and more helpful chapter names in the audiobook would be helpful to skip directly to a subject.
Overall, this was a great book that provides a solid foundation for learning DBT skills. There's a ton of material covered in the book that I need to revisit to retain better. I'm already on my second listen!

In late 2003, in his column in Entertainment Weekly, Stephen King called The Memory of Running "the best novel you won't read this year." This glowing endorsement of the audiobook resulted in Ron McLarty receiving a $2 million two-book deal from Viking Penguin. Also, Warner Brothers has shelled out big bucks for the movie rights to The Memory of Running, for which McLarty will write the script.
