Of my lists of books to read, I wasn't too excited about reading this one. While I thought it might be interesting to learn a bit about CBT, it wasn't currently a priority in my busy life. I started reading it because I said I would do a review on it, but I followed through and am posting this review because it turned out to be quite a different experience than expected.

I have two general comments concerning this self-help book.
First, I was interested in the title because I have a strong interest and practice in Stoicism and there is a strong relationship between Stoicism (capital S, of Marcus Aurelius) and CBT. There are lines in the book that do hint at this relationship but do not fully explore it. Perhaps the author could follow this volume with another than more fully explores CBT and Stoic philosophy. The resources on Stoic philosophy are very rich and t ...more

such a great quick read! it really got to the point and laid out everything you need to know clearly and simply. because of the length and simplicity, it felt a bit like an extended article rather than a book, but i think that's actually ideal for those looking to get an understanding of cbt and its different applications.
i really loved how each chapter focused on a different issue which could be broken down using cbt. there were some areas that i hadn't even considered cbt being applicable to ...more

Insightful, Practical Guide to CBT
I have read several books by Olivia Telford, the others on minimalism and hygge, and I was interested to see what her take on a very different topic like cognitive behavioral therapy would be. I have read several books on CBT and found them to be confusing or impractical. As CBT is grounded in science, it needs to be explained in a way that a layperson could understand and ideally in a practical manner as well, which pretty much every other book I've read on CBT ...more

I loved this book!!! Simple, Quick Read!! Ms. Telford provides a basic understanding of Cognitive Behavioral Therapies as it was easy to read and understand. Sometimes, we all need a little nudge to get us back on track when we face some life-altering event. That life-altering event could be excessive worry, trouble in the workplace, or just being down in the dumps OR can be due to the loss of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job, etc. Each chapter provides a basic explanation, suggested question

Excellent work! I want to be upfront and say that I have had serious depression and anxiety since I was 8 years old. I'm on medications and expect to be for the rest of my life. My family history has a very strong pattern. However, CBT is a fantastic tool and I'm forever learning more about it as it is one of the tools in my bag to be mentally strong. I love that this author doesn't talk down to us. She doesn't make the mistake to treat those with mental heath conditions as if they were also men

This book has made an impact in my life, I experienced many tragic events in my life leaving me feeling depressed and full of anxieties. I was at a point that I didn't know where to turn, I'd been to see counselors, therapists and they did what they could but it wasn't enough. My husband is seeing a big change in me just since I've read this book. I fully encourage anyone battling with issues such as depression, and anxieties, and even addiction to read this book and apply it to their life, it c

The emphasis on this self-help book is to focus on yourself in the now and manage your problems by helping you change the way you think and behave. It won’t be easy, but if you can commit to practicing the exercises in this book, then you will see a positive change with your behavior and emotions. This self-help book will help you realize that you don’t have to be at the mercy of your negative thoughts or emotions. Thanks Olivia!
As an executive coach, I appreciated this book's practicality, examples and definitions so much. As the title promised, it's filled with simple techniques you can use immediately. It's a great book for self-care, understanding why we think the way we do and having simple, practical things to practice over time to make improvements. I like the summaries at the ends of each chapter. It's nice to have a quick list to refer to for all the important nuggets. I really enjoyed the book!

This book was very educational and helpful.
I learned a lot from the CBT techniques discussed in this book, and by applying them to my life I feel healthier and happier than I was prior to reading it.

Entry level book for beginners
Very basic and easy to read. Good for starting out and as an introduction to CBT. Buy on sale. I wouldn't suggest full price as most of this book is just the same concept repurposed for each chapter. ...more

Olivia is a little obsessed with minimalism. Having struggled with a stressful and cluttered household growing up, including parents who were hoarders, Olivia was determined to do whatever it took to control her environment and simplify her life from materialistic objects.
