The CBT Workbook for Mental Health: Evidence-Based Exercises to Transform Negative Thoughts and Manage Your Well-Being

This book has been a great resource that I 've been using with my clients one to one as well as in group settings. The activities provide access to intersection reflection as well as an opening for emotional awareness and goal setting. I do recommend this book wholeheartedly.

Good practical work book for helping with emotional regulation and making good choices. Beware that when you heal, you often lose friends that don’t want to….

I've been in therapy for years, but this book is a wonderful in between sessions.

Worth the money. My daughter actually used it. Self help.

I've had a great experience before receiving in-person Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I needed a tune-up. This book has come to the rescue with a great review of CBT and cognitive distortions, and a ton of worksheets and exercises to help you put the ideas into action in your life. The chapter titles give a very good overview of what you can expect, and include "Growing Self-Esteem and Self-Acceptance," "Managing Stress, Anxiety, and Anger," and "Letting Go of Guilt and Shame." I appreciate that the worksheets include time estimates so you can get an idea of what you're getting into when you dig into them. Also useful are the "lessons learned" sections where you review what you've learned and reflect on it. While I'm already a fan of CBT and was pretty familiar with it before reading this book, my feeling is that it is written clearly and carefully enough to provide a useful intro to anyone who hasn't yet encountered this method. The world would be a much healthier, happier place if everyone, including those who don't even think they need therapy, read this book and did these exercises - everyone can benefit from self-reflection and from clearer thinking, and this book makes space for that work to be done.

This book is great for beginners in therapy. I started using this book on my own to get an idea on some exercises used in therapy to make it less scary. This book would be really helpful as well to the youth, who cant afford therapy but want to work on themselves.

A huge help! I love this book.

It's a very important workbook for someone engaging in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Compared to most places that I have seen it, I got it at a great price. My research regarding this book indicates it's the best on the market. If one is either practicing CBT or in CBT therapy yourself. Although the spiral bound copy is a little bit more expensive. My recommendation would be to spend a little extra money so that you can lay it flat to actually use it. And write in it, it is one of the best cognitive behavioral therapy workbooks on the market today

Easy to use immediately. Well written. Easy to understand. Anyone can use for multiple problems, simple or complex. Light easy read yet powerful and profound. Easy exercises

This book is like having a licensed therapist in paperback form. It’s approachable, non-judgmental, and gives you real tools—not just vague affirmations. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or just need to unpack your trauma with a pen and paper, this workbook delivers. Therapy isn’t always accessible, but this is a damn good step in.

This is a must for mental health fitness so to speak. Thank you

Good book to help identify and deal with individual issues.

This is a great workbook for anyone that is alive - even if you are not depressed or anxious it can help you navigate life easier, with less stress, and more dignity and enjoyment. Some issues with the book: 1. Internet/Social Media addiction is not mentioned despite the book being from 2021 - it seems like it was written decades earlier and just "updated" to make it seem fresh. These issues are at the forefront of anxiety and depression in youth and they were not addressed, which is quite strange. Of course, you can apply the principles to any situation, but still, it's like the elephant in the room. 2. Some editing choices are strange. For example, DEARMAN technique was presented too briefly and then skipped over. There should have been better explanations and examples for each letter of the acronym. It is a sloppy choice. 3. Another editing choice was to insert some excercises into unrelated categories - as if they didn't know where to put them and just squeezed them in. I would rather see a separte sub-chapter that mentions "Other Techniques" - otherwise it's just confusing. Other than that, again, the book presents dozens of tools to be used and applied to improve your life.
