Publisher's Summary

Why is it so hard to lose weight, stop smoking, or establish healthy habits? Why do couples argue about the same issues over and over? Why do so many people lie awake at night, stricken with worry and anxiety? Why is it so difficult to come to terms with a loved one's death, even if it's after a long illness?

The answers to these questions - and the path to lasting change in your life - lie in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a well-tested collection of practical techniques for managing moods and modifying undesirable behaviors through self-awareness, critical analysis, and goal-oriented change. CBT illuminates the links between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health and uses those connections to develop concrete plans for self-improvement. Built on a solid foundation of neurological and behavioral research, CBT is an approach almost anyone can use for promoting greater mental health and improving quality of life.

In 24 engaging half-hour lectures, you'll build a robust and effective self-improvement toolkit with the expert guidance of Professor Satterfield of the University of California, San Francisco. You will explore CBT's roots in Socratic and stoic philosophy, build a toolkit of CBT techniques, and hear about the latest research about its outcomes. Additionally this intriguing and practical course allows you to take on the role of medical student, physician, psychologist, and patient.

Throughout the course you'll explore issues that cause people to seek out therapy. In some cases you'll get to hear Dr. Satterfield working with a patient, and in others you'll be delving into research to find what causes issues and how CBT helps to resolve them.

Everyone has something about their life that they would like to improve. With the tools in CBT and the desire to make your situation better, you can create lasting change in your life.

Very descriptive and quite technical content

The content of the book is very descriptive & you may want to pause to make notes if you really wish to learn things out of this audiobook. There are different techniques of CBT explained in this & how to put it into use for helping yourself.

Help guide for both care givers and receivers.

The way the topics have been arranged, distributed among the chapters and elaborated upon is very effective in understanding the problems and seeking out the appropriate solutions. But particularly helpful is the inclusion of excerpts from real sessions involving real patients. This gives a rare chance for a future care giver to peek into the job s/he will be facing, and also for someone seeking guidance or self help to know what others in the same boat are doing to pull themselves out of their situations.

The author is a CBT expert who is worth his salt.

This book gave me an insight into how a psychologist thinks and helps his patients. I always wanted to look at the world from a psychologist's perspective. And thanks to professor Jason for explaining the various techniques in such a simple and beautiful manner.

Didn't like it personally nothing wrong

Didn't like it personally nothing wrong with the book. Few of coaching discussions were a lag in the middle.
