This edition also contains a brand new chapter on mindfulness, demonstrating how mindfulness techniques can be integrated with CBT strategies.

'Normally I don't think books like this are very helpful, but CHANGE YOUR THINKING is really helping me to change my life. When I started reading it, I immediately felt like I could get back in control and actually improve what I had accepted as the status quo. the author gives a lot of simple tips that work, and the exercises are a big help. I highly recommend this book to anyone suffering from anxiety or depression.' (One of the many positive customer reviews.)

Ratings and reviews

Purchased this ebook and realised I cannot do text to speech as I cannot see properly and I am pretty disappointed. I tried downloading PDF however the format won't allow. This was a waste of money for me as I cannot read this book. Any assistance Google Play can provide would be most appreciated. Also the ''email'' link does not work so this is there only other way I know to contact Google Play. I have this on my desktop pc and tablet.

Great book. Was shown by my beautiful partner. its already giving me the tools nessasary to improve my quality of life and the way I perceive things which leads to my bad temper and lack of concideration towards others who I generally care about. With the aid of this book I think I'll be able to step back and take every new opertunity as a new experience and not something to avoid or be afriad of because of past experiences. Thanks author.

Edit: would really appreciate read-aloud as well. The book shows you how to reframe your counter productive thoughts and over time change the way you see and interpret situations. The advice has given me lots of immediate benefits and really helped me reduce my work stress and anxiety. As a side effect you will also learn to recognize what types of beliefs you should/shouldn't be cultivating so you don't fall into the same traps as before.
