A basic review of CBT principles。

A lot of self-help books miss the mark in terms of offering quality strategies for managing your depression， anxiety， panic， procrastination， anger and worry。 Gillihan's work succeeds in this regard。 10 chapters are dedicated to offering you solutions as to how to manage yourself， giving a snippit of homework at the tail-end of each （to hold you accountable）。 I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who struggles with any of the above。 A lot of self-help books miss the mark in terms of offering quality strategies for managing your depression， anxiety， panic， procrastination， anger and worry。 Gillihan's work succeeds in this regard。 10 chapters are dedicated to offering you solutions as to how to manage yourself， giving a snippit of homework at the tail-end of each （to hold you accountable）。 I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who struggles with any of the above。 。。。more

Sách có tên tiếng Việt là "Liệu pháp nhận thức hành vi， sức mạnh của việc thay đổi thói quen"Đây là cuốn thứ 2 mình đọc từ tiến sĩ Seth J。 Gillihan， cuốn trước đó đã dịch qua tiếng Việt là " Vượt qua lo âu chữa lành tâm trí"Cũng là một cuốn sách chú trọng vào thực hành các kĩ thuật nền tảng trong CBT như kích hoạt hành vi， nhận diện niềm tin cỗi lõi， lỗi sai nhận thức。。。 nhưng lối viết dễ hiểu hơn， toàn diện và giúp người đọc có thể ứng dụng một vài bài tập để vượt qua được trầm cảm， lo âu。Càng Sách có tên tiếng Việt là "Liệu pháp nhận thức hành vi， sức mạnh của việc thay đổi thói quen"Đây là cuốn thứ 2 mình đọc từ tiến sĩ Seth J。 Gillihan， cuốn trước đó đã dịch qua tiếng Việt là " Vượt qua lo âu chữa lành tâm trí"Cũng là một cuốn sách chú trọng vào thực hành các kĩ thuật nền tảng trong CBT như kích hoạt hành vi， nhận diện niềm tin cỗi lõi， lỗi sai nhận thức。。。 nhưng lối viết dễ hiểu hơn， toàn diện và giúp người đọc có thể ứng dụng một vài bài tập để vượt qua được trầm cảm， lo âu。Càng đọc các sách về trị liệu ứng dụng mới thấy người bệnh rất cần có bác sĩ đồng hành。 Đọc sách chỉ nên là giải pháp tạm thời。 Chữa lành là một hành trình quá gian nan， nếu phải thực hiện một mình。 。。。more

Good book。 Gonna reread and put further into practice。 Could have more depth， but also seems to be simple and accessible enough for beginners。

This is a great first step into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy， I would suggested it to anyone who has no experience with therapy or redirecting their mindset。 If this was my first self-help book I would think it was wonderful。 It was a great reminder tool， personally I don't feel it offered much in the ways of new ideas when dealing with anxiety or depression。 There wasn't an Aha moment for me， but that isn't to say there isn't one for another reader。 This is a great first step into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy， I would suggested it to anyone who has no experience with therapy or redirecting their mindset。 If this was my first self-help book I would think it was wonderful。 It was a great reminder tool， personally I don't feel it offered much in the ways of new ideas when dealing with anxiety or depression。 There wasn't an Aha moment for me， but that isn't to say there isn't one for another reader。 。。。more

Simple， clear， actionable， and organized so well （which tends to be the downfall of many other titles）。 Without a doubt one of the best books on CBT I've ever read。 It reads well as a reference guide， or a primer for the uninitiated。 Either way， it's stellar。 Simple， clear， actionable， and organized so well （which tends to be the downfall of many other titles）。 Without a doubt one of the best books on CBT I've ever read。 It reads well as a reference guide， or a primer for the uninitiated。 Either way， it's stellar。 。。。more

CBT truly made simple。 Concise and digestible chapters with relevant activities and charts to drive points home。 As a psych major， I really like how Gillihan organized the book in a way that helps to open up the reader to concepts without overwhelming or confusing them。 It took awhile for me to get through for some reason but overall， I'd recommend to anyone who wants to make changes in their lives but isn't sure what's going on/if they'd benefit from therapy。 CBT truly made simple。 Concise and digestible chapters with relevant activities and charts to drive points home。 As a psych major， I really like how Gillihan organized the book in a way that helps to open up the reader to concepts without overwhelming or confusing them。 It took awhile for me to get through for some reason but overall， I'd recommend to anyone who wants to make changes in their lives but isn't sure what's going on/if they'd benefit from therapy。 。。。more

3。5I found this book very repetitive which is my only negative。 I was never immensely boring and it definitely was simple。 I liked it and I helped simplify some of my problematic emotions。 It was good at putting a lot of things I had been feeling over the years into words I could understand and dissect。 Some good strategies for anyone going through a tough time

After reading Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in 7 weeks， this book seems lacking。 It's almost a regurgitation of the book with some minor entries。I'd just stick to the original book After reading Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in 7 weeks， this book seems lacking。 It's almost a regurgitation of the book with some minor entries。I'd just stick to the original book 。。。more

My therapist recommended that I read this book。 His goal is to make me my own therapist and be able to help myself。 This book is short and sweet， and has very helpful strategies and examples。 The most powerful thing I'm taking away is to be grateful and mindful。 My therapist recommended that I read this book。 His goal is to make me my own therapist and be able to help myself。 This book is short and sweet， and has very helpful strategies and examples。 The most powerful thing I'm taking away is to be grateful and mindful。 。。。more

Amazing Book through and throughThis book is very articulate and feels very naturally relatable and insightful at the same time。 He takes science like psychology concepts and translates them into very simple and powerful concepts and tools for us to use。 I’ve read many self help books。 This is one of the good ones。

3。5 I like CBT and haven't done it much。 The whole minor changes for long lasting improvements and adapting with the great big life， yeah I get it。 The layout didn't flow great for me， and nothing sticks out that I recall。 Though I feel I implemented something and it was really effective。 I'll see if my early notes show up and answer that musing。 3。5 I like CBT and haven't done it much。 The whole minor changes for long lasting improvements and adapting with the great big life， yeah I get it。 The layout didn't flow great for me， and nothing sticks out that I recall。 Though I feel I implemented something and it was really effective。 I'll see if my early notes show up and answer that musing。 。。。more

Pratical， simple， educational， has enough examples and real-life stories which I liked the most。 It is like a short CBT course and well-explained one。

Uplifting Three words “Think， Act， Be” are the key words in this uplifting book。 The author did a great job in providing a thorough explanation of how our minds trigger the thoughts that affects your lives。 He even provided exercises at the end of each chapter to help aid in our efforts to be a better version of ourselves。

This was my first book on CBT， so I’m not sure how it stacks up against the rest。 But it is actionable， and more importantly， I’ve put enough techniques in it to practice to be able to say that I think it is effective — at least for me！ It is also concise。 There aren’t many wasted words。 Recommended。
