Book Description
“We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.” - Albert Einstein How do you react to a stressful situation? Do you worry or search for a solution to your problem? If you’re worrying, worst-case scenarios may be occupying your thoughts. Worry makes you expect that something horrible will happen, even if it’s highly unlikely. This worry leaves you unprepared to face stressful events when they happen. The solution? You need to be able to plan so you’re ready for such situations. The problem-solving approach teaches you to use a constructive thinking process that’s flexible and effective in dealing with the problem at hand. Problem-solving is a practical process that leads you to focus on your current problem instead of on problems, in general. By adopting the problem-solving strategies proposed in this workbook, you’ll be giving yourself the best chance to deal well with problems. If you substitute your worrying time with time spent thinking about solutions, you’ll achieve greater results, resolving problems in your life. If you’re looking for enhanced well-being, The Brief CBT Workbook: A self-help tool for solving life’s problems will quickly steer you in the right direction. This workbook will help you acquire the life-long skills you need to recognize and modify your emotional response to problems. You’ll learn to better formulate the problem you’re facing, to choose an effective solution, and to evaluate all the pros and cons of each problem-solving step, thus improving the quality of your life.
