The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Workbook for Self-Esteem by Christine Yarosh was brilliant. This workbook was written in such a way that it met the reader at whatever level one came. I really appreciated in the beginning that the book did not assume a certain knowledge base of the reader. For those who were not educated in the area information was provided and for those who were you were able to be refreshed on key concepts. We were given solid, sound, practical and functional skills to check and challenge our negative thought processes. I have never read any workbook that has been able to do this. The examples further drove home the idea. This was great. I can see myself using this continuously and also referring it to others in my practice.

Than you!

This workbook was really hard for me to digest. It spent a lot of time in the beginning speaking on what “this book” will help with, and honestly when I got deeper into the book I struggled to find that those issues were touched on in depth. I also struggled because there were some things that were in depth, but with little support when digging in deeper, or appropriate “next steps” as you make break throughs. I love the concept of a workbook, and I love the idea of using CBT to help address self esteem issues, I just found it really hard to see the questions as on topic to that mission in this book. However, the information it’s self was well written and helpful for day to day life.
This may be a “me” issues vs a workbook issue, but I just ended up feeling more guarded and confused than confident and self aware after reading and using this book.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is basically the idea that we can learn to control our minds so that we have control over our feelings and actions. This book has explanations and exercises to help people do their own CBT.
I felt like this was good overall but there was more explanation than necessary. It would have been more helpful to focus on the techniques.
CBT is one of the techniques that really seems to help a lot of people and I wanted to learn more. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

***Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review***

This was your standard CBT workbook that will no doubt be useful to many who have never explored CBT before. It's basic, easy to understand, and has some helpful analogies for explaining concepts. That said, there is nothing utterly unique about it and readers could probably find equal value in other similar workbooks. Whether or not someone likes this more will come down to personal preferences.

This is a great read if you are really interested in bettering yourself. This workbook does a great job at getting you to look at how you “talk” to yourself and how you perceive things. It gives you food for thought, and opportunities to move in a better direction and make new goals for yourself. I definitely recommend if you are trying to work on yourself!
