About this listen

Cognitive therapy has gained massive acceptance among mental health professionals as well as the public. As a matter of fact, cognitive therapy has become one of the most practiced and researched forms of psychotherapy in the entire universe. There are a number of reasons that explain this growing interest. One of them stems from the fact that cognitive therapy consists of basic, down-to-earth ideas that are intuitive and appealing. Second, research studies have confirmed cognitive therapy to be critical for individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, and other problems. Third, lots of self-help books have aroused a strong, popular demand for cognitive therapy not only in the United States, but also around the entire world.

"Cognition" refers to perception or thought. In other words, cognitions describe the ways you think about events or things at any particular moment. These thoughts go through your mind automatically, without much control from your end. They have a huge impact on how you generally feel. For instance, people listen to self-help books on various subjects because of their thoughts and feelings. If they feel depressed and discouraged, they may pick an inspirational book to lift their mood.

Your feelings are a sum total of the messages you give yourself. If you think of yourself as a loser or a useless person, those thoughts will compound to form a feeling which is mapped onto your behavioral pattern. Close to 2000 years ago Epictetus, a Greek philosopher, stated that people are often disturbed not by things, but rather by the views they take of them. In the Bible, the book of Proverbs 23:7 states that, "For as he thinks within himself, so he is." In Hamlet, Shakespeare expresses a similar idea in Act 2, Scene 2: "For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

Good arguments but a bit naive perhaps

As priests of the modern age, psychologists argue for a diciplined mind. I do not think one needs to "pick a side" between depressive realism or positive surrealism, like cognitive behavioral therapy advocates. But I agree that depression should not shape a lifetime.

Nothing You Don't Know

Short book. As useful as talking to a friend for 15 minutes. You already know everything. Author struggled to add filler to make more than a magazine article.

Short but to the point. Great intro to Cognitive Behavior

Wow - The examples in this book hit home. Depression, anxiety, self loathing. Why some people are people pleaders while others are tyrants! Worth a listen.

Pretty good intro to CBT, but doesn't get too deep

It is a good teaser, it points you in the right direction for CBT, but it is very brief and somewhat lacking if looking for more help in CBT.

Simple and to the point on mood and depression

This book was exactly what I've been looking for. I suffer from mild depression, so drugs and therapy, although could be beneficial, may not be necessary. This book gave me a perspective, understanding, and action items around depression that helped me to help myself within the first 30 minutes. The author really understands what's happening with negative thinking in a depressed persons mind and gives logical and rational guidance to help the reader 'tune their dials' to a clear station, or in other words a clear view of reality and out of the mental fog of depression.

pretty insightful

you get books on the same subject that are totally unreadable, use word to make you think the authors smart. Craig is so understandable, to the point, that its excellent.
