Can you recommend any good resources or perhaps a book on beginning CBT? So far, CBT For Dummies (ironic title, I know), is what I am working from. That, and a handful of random youtube videos is what I've been trying to build my CBT knowledge from.
- jwdunne 11y agoFeeling Good by David Burns is a very good book. I've heard of studies that have shown it just as effective as medication for depression. The second chapter "Do Nothingness" has a chapter on procrastination specifically too. Achieve Your Potential with Positive Psychology also includes a good chapter on CBT. The book also includes other findings/techniques in psychology that can help improve mood, motivation, relationships, etc. It also starts out by smacking down the Law of Attraction, which isn't really effective - it's more like an emotional pyramid scheme. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Teach Yourself by Christine Wilding contains some good information too. Outside of CBT, Man's Search for Meaning, which defines logotherapy, is a damn useful book. Tim LeBon's book also includes information on this.
