Based around religious/spiritual beliefs

I immediately returned this after flipping open the book and the chapter is all about "SIN". If you are trying to treat anxiety/depression and have no interest in reading about religion/philosophy/spirituality - then do not buy this book. Also chapters about "stargazing, listening to birds" - this is more of a intro guide to mindfulness and spirituality than a tool to help those who suffer from debilitating depression.

Truly Inspiring and Life Changing

While this book is written scientifically to help with “Anxiety, Depression, and Intrusive Thoughts”, I recommend it for EVERYONE! Scientifically written in language that is easily understood. The author reminds us that we are not “bad or weak” and has a wonderful definition of sin.
Chapters are well laid out to take you through steps of CBT all while exploring history, techniques, and examples. I especially appreciate the way differing religions, philosophies, spirituality are presented without bias. Their possible benefits and effects on our mental health are explored.
The included workbook is wonderfully designed for deep introspection and problem solving. This book could be used independently or in conjunction with therapy. Changing your mind truly does change your perspective, which changes your life!

Psycholgy 101

This book gives insight without making it so complex that it's not understandable. Breaking down is a way of breathing through stereotypes and mental health myths. Kudos to the writer for putting this together. I would suggest this be used in psychology classes across the US. Mental health is such a huge issue in the general population and this highlights ways to cope and also ways to diagnose. Not everything is always so black and white when it comes to the mind.
