Publisher's Summary:

Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental illnesses in the world. Often they go hand in hand with each other, and unfortunately for thousands of people these serious mental health concerns go untreated. Perhaps you or a loved one suffers from anxiety or depression. I want you to know that there is help out there, and that no matter how bad things may seem, tomorrow holds a brighter day, with solutions that you might not see right now.

Anxiety and depression have been a major component of my life for over 30 years. I have been an avid follower of the medical community, and watching the perspective change on depression and anxiety has been fascinating. Today, one of the leading methods for treating anxiety and depression rests with cognitive behavioral therapy. It is my goal over the course of this book to educate you about the core causes of depression and anxiety and to provide advice and help for everyday things that you can do to minimize the negative effects of these mental health conditions.

My experience in the field of behavioral health is practical and comes with years of research, both introspective and academic. I want to provide you with a toolbox to treat anxiety and depression and to understand part of the root cause. Start listening, and soon your anxiety and depression will be put into perspective; you will have a theory of the root cause of depression and anxiety in the modern age, and you will have a set of strategies to help you cope. There's no reason to let anxiety and depression take hold in your life; start listening, and you, too, can break the grip of these serious mental health conditions.

Not CBT

This isn't CBT. I'm sure the author meant well, but telling people who are suffering from depression and/or anxiety that they should just, "Make lists! Eat right! Exercise! Yeah, it's hard, but it's worth it!" is so condescending and absolutely not helpful. Worse, he advises turning to comfort food to feel better. I've read other books (such as The Feeling Good Handbook) on CBT and they cover in-depth guidance on analyzing the twisted thoughts that lead to our emotions and how to change your thinking. I was hoping for something like that in audio format and am very disappointed in this book.

Helpful Advice!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to be better than the print version?

i love the both version both where good...

One of the solutions that the book proposes is the simple, but powerful act of recording your own thoughts. If you boil it down, it's basically 'journal-ing' your thoughts.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

I'm a big believer in using this method as a way to gain clarity and help you emotionally de-tach from what's going on in your mind. It has helped me on many occasions to put things back into perspective, when I "feel" like I'm losing control of what's going on in my life.

What about Miguel Rodriguezs performance did you like?

amazing performance i really like his performance Miguel Rodriguez..

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

i heard it by one sitting..

Any additional comments?

There are others that the book suggests that are also worth trying.

Title: Child Psychology

Author: Centre of Excellence

Narrator: Brian Greyson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-09-17

Publisher: Author's Republic

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Our child psychology course book is a superb first step for beginners and that valuable stride forward for teachers and workers with children who wish to deepen their skill base.

It is the perfect choice for anyone who suspects they might want to pursue in a career in child psychology but does not yet feel they are in complete possession of the facts of what the field entails.

Child psychology is the study of how a young person develops from birth up to adolescence: how he changes emotionally through that time, how his own identity is formed, and how he will eventually learn to be able to speak a language. It examines how a child evolves through the processes of information processing and cognitive development.

Behaviourally it looks at how a child begins to understand social behaviours and integrate accordingly. It investigates how motor skills develop, social skills and how identity is formed.

This comprehensive course gives you firm foundation knowledge into how a child develops and gives insights into why a child behaves the way he does.

Title: The Empathy Instinct

Subtitle: How to Create a More Civil Society

Author: Peter Bazalgette

Narrator: Peter Bazalgette

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-26-17

Publisher: John Murray

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

How the art and science of compassion can build a better society.

Empathy is the power of understanding others, imaginatively entering into their feelings. It is a fundamental human attribute, without which mutually cooperative societies cannot function. In a revolutionary development, we now know who has it, who lacks it and why. Via the MRI scanner, we are mapping the human brain. This is a new frontier that reveals a host of beneficial ideas for childcare, teens challenged by the Internet, the justice system, decent health care, tackling racism and resolving conflicts.

In this wide-ranging and accessible audiobook full of entertaining stories that are underlined by the latest scientific research, Peter Bazalgette also mounts a passionate defence of arts and popular culture as a means of bridging the empathy gap. As the world's population expands, consuming the planet's finite resources, as people haunted by poverty and war are on the move and as digital communications infinitely complicate our social interactions, we find our patience and our sympathy constantly challenged. Here is the antidote.

Culminating in a passionate manifesto on empathy, The Empathy Instinct is what makes us human and what can make us better humans.

This audiobook includes a bonus interview with the author.

Members Reviews:

Inspired!

Fact after fact after fact, Bazalgette backs up his points, all creating a highly convincing picture of a better society driven by better connections with one another, all by using empathy as the primary tool.

Like all tools empathy requires skills and practices to use it well Bazalgette provides grounded pointers in many different genres, such as health, prison reform, education and IT where the greater use of an empathy instinct has proven to create better lasting results.

Essential reading for anyone who wishes to help build a better future for us all.

Everyone should read this, it would make for a better world

Along with To Kill a Mockingbird, everyone should read/listen to this book; or, at the very least: politicians, teachers, the medical profession - basically, everyone in the public sector.

That said, every manager of people in the workplace would benefit from this book. If we could all stand in another person's shoes and walk a mile in them: empathise with their perspective, the world would be a better, safer and more caring place.

The Empathy Instinct should become a movement; we shouldn't just leave it to politicians, we should also create a bottom-up movement to get everyone to understand. I hope the author tries to do just that.

Great book, very thought-provoking and interesting, loved it and will probably listen again to certain areas. I downloaded it after listening to the author being interviewed on Radio 5 Live. Highly recommend.

Title: Introvert

Subtitle: A Scientific Explanation and Guide to an Introvert's Mind

Author: Madge Falco

Narrator: Sheree Wichard

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-16-17

Publisher: Pecora Holdings, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 16 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Understand the introvert within you and position yourself for success.

I'm shy. I make excuses - even lie - to avoid certain social situations. I've been called anti-social, awkward, and odd. The way I behave doesn't feel unnatural, but I'm constantly being told it is. I'm afraid of confrontation and disagreement. I lack confidence in my abilities, I'm reluctant to defend myself, and I get taken advantage of by others...a lot. And worst of all, I don't know why. That was me, before writing this book. If it sounds familiar, then it's time for you to take action to eliminate the negativity. Why are you the way that you are? The answers are inside.

Here is a preview of what you'll learn:

Behind every "why" is a "because." Don't let ignorance prevent you from reaching your full potential. Start learning why you are who you are now, and make today day one of the new you.

Members Reviews:

Excellent look...at myself

After listening to a quick sample of this book I was hooked: "Hey, that's me!" was my response. So I got the book...and I was not disappointed.

First off, this is a book everyone would benefit listening to. Why?

1. It is short--you can listen to this in one or two sittings.

2. It is relevant; you are either an introvert or you know those that are. You will benefit from understanding others and/or yourself much better.

So buy this book! You may just discover that you are not the only person that insists on keeping his/her office door closed, that uses sound cancelling headphones, that hates change, or that has a very, VERY difficult time in social settings. I especially appreciate the discussion as to how we are not one way or the other (introvert or extrovert) but somewhere along the pendulum of the two. And that the pendulum can move; we may be one way when we are young and another when we are old.

I may just listen to this one again. Awesome job! Again, I am no psychologist and my days of Psychologist 101 were long before any of my students were even born, but as a historian....awesome job!

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

I loved it, my brother loved it, and my son loved

TARGET AUDIENCE: Anyone interested in understanding their introverted friend, sweetheart, or acquaintance.

CONTENT: Most individuals with introversion already know this information intuitively, but it is nice to be able to share with our sweethearts and friends so that they understand why we sometimes act the way we do. This book is the kind of book that I would like to give to friends in my life.

NARRATOR: Great job narrating this book. It was easy to listen to.

OVERALL: I loved it, my brother loved it, and my son loved it!

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Helpful

As an introvert myself I found this book quite helpful. Interesting and well written it's definitely worth a listen.

The narration was well done and enjoyable.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Not too special

This book is alright if you want a broad overview of the current state of the research being done on introversion. Not a good reference if you want specific information.

Title: Summary A Mind of Your Own: The Truth About Depression and How Women Can Heal Their Bodies to Reclaim Their Lives by Kelly Brogan, MD and Kristin Loberg

Narrator: Jorie Raine Fradella

Format: Unabridged

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

This is a summary of Kelly Brogan, MD and Kristin Loberg's A Mind of Your Own: The Truth About Depression and How Women Can Heal Their Bodies to Reclaim Their Lives

Depression is not a disease. It is a symptom. Recent years have seen a shocking increase in antidepressant use the world over, with one in four women starting their day with medication. These drugs have steadily become the panacea for everything from grief, irritability, panic attacks, to insomnia, PMS, and stress. But the truth is, what women really need can't be found at a pharmacy. According to Dr. Kelly Brogan, antidepressants not only overpromise and underdeliver, but their use may permanently disable the body's self-healing potential. We need a new paradigm: The best way to heal the mind is to heal the whole body.

In this groundbreaking, science-based, and holistic approach, Dr. Brogan shatters the mythology conventional medicine has built around the causes and treatment of depression. Based on her expert interpretation of published medical findings, combined with years of experience from her clinical practice, Dr. Brogan illuminates the true cause of depression: it is not simply a chemical imbalance, but a lifestyle crisis that demands a reset. It is a signal that the interconnected systems in the body are out of balance - from blood sugar, to gut health, to thyroid function - and inflammation is at the root.

A Mind of Your Own offers an achievable, step-by-step 30-day action plan - including powerful dietary interventions, targeted nutrient support, detoxification, sleep, and stress reframing techniques - women can use to heal their bodies, alleviate inflammation, and feel like themselves again without a single prescription. Bold, brave, and revolutionary, A Mind of Your Own takes listeners on a journey of self-empowerment for radical transformation that goes far beyond symptom relief.

Tricked into purchasing summary version

Unfortunately bought this summary thing it was the original. Using iPhone with small text. Perhaps a much better distinction between the real version and below average summaries would be a good idea. Caveat emptor. Let the buyer beware. Cheers.

Title: Hi, Anxiety

Subtitle: Life with a Bad Case of Nerves

Author: Kat Kinsman

Narrator: Kat Kinsman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-15-16

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 28 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Psychology & The Mind

Publisher's Summary:

Joining the ranks of such acclaimed accounts as Manic, Brain on Fire, and Monkey Mind is a deeply personal, funny, and sometimes painful look at anxiety and its impact from writer and commentator Kat Kinsman.

Feeling anxious? Can't sleep because your brain won't stop recycling thoughts? Unable to make a decision because you're too afraid you'll make the wrong one? You're not alone.

In Hi, Anxiety, beloved food writer, editor, and commentator Kat Kinsman expands on the high-profile pieces she wrote for CNN.com about depression and its wicked cousin, anxiety. Taking us back to her adolescence, when she was diagnosed with depression at 14, Kat speaks eloquently, with pathos and humor, about her skin-picking, hand-flapping "nervousness" that made her the recipient of many a harsh taunt. With her mother also gripped by depression and health issues throughout her life, Kat came to live in a constant state of unease - that she would fail, that she would never find love, that she would end up just like her mother.

Now, as a successful media personality, Kat still battles anxiety every day. That anxiety manifests in strange and deeply personal ways. But as she found when she started to write about her struggles, Kat is not alone in feeling like the simple act of leaving the house or getting a haircut can be crippling. And though periodic medication, counseling, a successful career, and a happy marriage have brought her relief, the illness - because that is what anxiety is - remains.

Exploring how millions are affected by anxiety, Hi, Anxiety is a clarion call for everyone - but especially women - struggling with this condition. Though she is a strong advocate for seeking medical intervention, Kinsman implores those suffering to come out of the shadows, to talk about their battles openly and honestly. With humor, bravery, and writing that brings best sellers like Laurie Notaro and Jenny Lawson to mind, Hi, Anxiety tackles a difficult subject with amazing grace.

Members Reviews:

I hope you recognize someone in this book

If you see yourself in the unsparingly detailed stories Kat shares, you will find comfort and laughter in a friend who understands the heartbreak (and sometimes hilarity) that anxiety has brought into your life.

If you instead recognize loved one, you will gain greater insight and compassion for their struggle, moment to moment.

I'm grateful that she wrote this book. I feel more forgiving toward myself. I feel known and understood. I feel grateful for my loved ones, and for the fears that have quieted and for the fears I never had to battle.

I was already pretty open about depression, but anxiety may indeed carry more of a stigma. It makes me feel guilty, something like weakness and ingratitude. I want to remember Kat's strength and grateful spirit, which defy the two negative labels.

depressing

great book if you want to hear someone whine about their problems for 6 hours.
