I purchased this book as a precursor to my, just getting started, undergraduate education in Psychology. This book provided me with a means to both understand cognitive therapy and its application. In fact, I do not think it gets any more rudimentary then this, but with that said, it offers practical information beyond just the basics. The book is gracefully easy to read and will keep you ...             Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness46 reviews Richard H. Thaler, Cass R. Sunstein Yale University Press, 2008 One of the best in the economics genre Before I get to the book review, note that Thaler has done an excellent 1-hour talk about this book for Authors@Google, which is well worth your time whether or not you actually read Nudge. It's much better than the videos on Amazon. The book. Thaler & Sunstein define their use of the word "nudge" on page 6: "A nudge, as we will use the term, is any aspect of the choice architecture that ...             Mind Over Mood: Change How You Feel by Changing the Way You Think53 reviews Dennis Greenberger, Christine Padesky The Guilford Press, 1995 it helped me This book was recommended by my phychologist. He couldn't have been more right on. This is the first real help I have had in solving a lot of anxiety and stress in my life. It is so down to earth on what we know but what we so easily overlook in our fix for the human condition. The work pages allow you to really personalize the advice. I would buy it again and I would recommend to all who want to ...             Reinventing Your Life: The Breakthough Program to End Negative Behavior...and Feel Great Again42 reviews Jeffrey E. Young, Janet S. Klosko Plume, 1994 Very difficult to find a book about schemas I was recommended to buy this book as it deals with specifics that you can relate to. I'm in Australia and it is very hard to find any book about schemas. Sometimes you can get into the whole CBT thing but it's difficult to understand. I found this book to be quite easy to read and i have learnt alot about myself from reading it. Definatlely the book to read if you are familiar with CBT ...             Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions148 reviews Dan Ariely HarperCollins, 2008 Why do we think that way???!!! This was an excellent read. It was entertaining and moved very fast. He provided a lot of information about how we thought and the ways we thought. If you are even remotely interested in how the human mind works, this is an excellent read. We are not the rational animals that we think we are and this book points out all of our lovable quirks.             Stumbling on Happiness217 reviews Daniel Gilbert Vintage, 2007 Makes me glad to be human This book is fabulous. As much as the content informs on the human condition, the frolicking experience of reading it reinforces it. Makes me glad to be human. Highly recommended! - kara             Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior45 reviews Ori Brafman, Rom Brafman Doubleday Business, 2008 Well Written and Easy to Understand I've been interested in the reasons people make the types of decisions they do even when presented with the evidence that it's the wrong decision or, at best, inappropriate. This book explains the reasons in an easy-to-understand format that makes sense. It's a quick read without a lot of the technical gobbledygook that might be present in textbooks or peer reviewed journals. It's well worth ...             The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person88 reviews Judith S. Beck Oxmoor House, 2007 One of the best decisions I ever made I'm so glad I got this book. I am actually a therapist, and very familiar with CBT, and the idea of applying it to weight loss makes profound sense. I heard Dr. Beck on NPR, and I was not in the mood to listen to what she had to say, but then it made so much sense, I started to take notes! And even though I didn't feel like making an effort to follow a diet, I got the book anyway. And I liked ...             Honest Signals: How They Shape Our World (Bradford Books)2 reviews Alex (Sandy) Pentland The MIT Press, 2008 Beyond "Pop Science" This book goes through the most recent (about last 5 years) research of Prof. Pentland's group in the MIT Media Lab. It's a quick but extremely engaging read, and in contrast to other pop science books like Freakanomics and Predictably Irrational (both of which are interesting reads), Honest Signals has the scientific details of the experiments that it talks about, in the form of a thorough ...             The Feeling Good Handbook86 reviews David D. Burns Plume, 1999 A Critical Analysis of the Feeling Good Handbook Abstract The following study investigates the text, The Feeling Good Handbook, by David Burns. Specifically addressed are issues regarding the cognitive-behavioral model of twisted thinking, moral relativism, and the denial of objective truth.

This is the most fascinating book I have ever read. The amazing Temple Grandin takes two subjects: autism and animal behavior,and draws comparisons with remarkable insight. She brings the world of animal behavior into sharp focus with examples and explanations and makes it easy for the lay reader to understand. She and coauthor, Catherine Johnson, write with a conversational prose that makes even ...             Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious21 reviews Gerd Gigerenzer Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008 Reality in Behavioral Study Like his earlier and equally excellent book, Calculated Risk, Gut Feelings addresses some very common topics in an easy-to-read, solidly referenced manner that will make you feel good about life.

What we all knew and could ...             Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder18 reviews Marsha Linehan The Guilford Press, 1993 THE Book As a Borderline reading a book written for the clinician, it opened my eyes as to how others see me. It has helped me to see the areas in my mind that CAN be changed and has helped me to begin making those changes. It is written by a 'non-writer' and is very difficult to read at times without a psych. manual ;)!! lots of $1000.00 words that are not for the layman, but if you want to know more ...             Learning Cognitive-Behavior Therapy: An Illustrated Guide6 reviews Jesse H. Wright, Monica Ramirez Basco, ... American Psychiatric Publishing, 2005 An Excellent Resource for Learning Cognitive Therapy It has often been said that psychotherapy is both art and science. Research over the last 40 years has demonstrated the scientific basis for Cognitive Therapy. However, it is one thing to read about an approach to therapy and another to learn how to do it. Learning Cognitive-Behavior Therapy: An Illustrated Guide provides the reader and clinician with the best of both worlds. Not only will ...             Seeking Safety: A Treatment Manual for PTSD and Substance Abuse9 reviews Lisa M.

Clark New Harbinger Publications, 2005 Best (only?) book on obsessive thoughts I have found! My boyfriend was diagnosed with OCD a little less than a year ago. While I found many books on OCD, and several written for family/friends of those with OCD, these books mainly focused on "visible" obsessions and compulsions (checking, washing, cleaning, rituals, etc.), rather than intrusive and obsessive thoughts, which is what he primarily suffers from. This book was an AMAZING find, as it ...             Overcoming Situational and General Anger: Client Manual: A Protocol for the Treatment of Anger Based on ...1 review Jerry L. Deffenbacher New Harbinger, 2008 A Practical Manual for dealing with Anger; One of the Most Valuable Books I've read in a long time Though this book was meant to be used as part of a treatment program, I found that reading it and working through the many practical exercises (e.g. keeping a journal of irksome events, their causes and how to deal with them, etc.) to be very helpful. The book gives a good overview of why people become angry by events/other people (e.g. by Generalizing, by Catastrophizing, etc.), and I was ...             Making Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Work: Clinical Process for New Practitioners6 reviews Deborah Roth Ledley, Brian P.
