Isn't this just what cognitive behavioral therapy is but with different names?

  It does sound similar. Throw in a few helping lines about understanding why you do the "thinking" and it might even become dialectical.

  Yes, I believe so, or at least a subset of it. The author is not a therapist of any kind, I get the impression he was just a guy who wrote a book about how he overcame his personal struggles. This was off-handedly recommended to me by my therapist via text as she thought of me while reading it as I told her I was struggling with recurring thoughts, ruminations, anxiety, etc so that might lend some credence to it.
