Random House presents the audiobook edition of Atomic Habits by James Clear, read by the author. A revolutionary system to get 1 percent better every day. People think when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions - doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits.

No skill is more important in today's world than being able to think about, understand, and act on information in an effective and responsible way. What's more, at no point in human history have we had access to so much information, with such relative ease, as we do in the 21st century. But because misinformation out there has increased as well, critical thinking is more important than ever. These 24 rewarding lectures equip you with the knowledge and techniques you need to become a savvier, sharper critical thinker in your professional and personal life.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,637
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

With their labile and rapidly developing brains, adolescents are particularly susceptible to addiction, and addiction leads to anxiety and depression. What few parents will know is that what we think of as the most typical addictions and problematic teen behaviours - smoking, drinking, drug taking, sex leading to teenage pregnancy - are on the decline. The bad news is that a whole raft of addictions has taken their place.

Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

Why can some birds sleep with only half of their brain? What really happens during REM sleep? Why do our sleep patterns change across a lifetime? Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, health and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep or what good it serves or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when it is absent. In this book, neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker charts 20 years of cutting-edge research.

One of the most complicated and advanced computers on Earth can't be purchased in any store. This astonishing device, responsible for storing and retrieving vast quantities of information that can be accessed at a moment's notice, is the human brain. How does such a dynamic and powerful machine make memories, learn a language, and remember how to drive a car? What habits can we adopt in order to learn more effectively throughout our lives? The answers to these questions are merely the tip of the iceberg in The Learning Brain.
Publisher's Summary
Why is it so hard to lose weight, stop smoking, or establish healthy habits? Why do couples argue about the same issues over and over? Why do so many people lie awake at night, stricken with worry and anxiety? Why is it so difficult to come to terms with a loved one's death, even if it's after a long illness?
The answers to these questions - and the path to lasting change in your life - lie in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a well-tested collection of practical techniques for managing moods and modifying undesirable behaviors through self-awareness, critical analysis, and goal-oriented change. CBT illuminates the links between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health and uses those connections to develop concrete plans for self-improvement. Built on a solid foundation of neurological and behavioral research, CBT is an approach almost anyone can use for promoting greater mental health and improving quality of life.
In 24 engaging half-hour lectures, you'll build a robust and effective self-improvement toolkit with the expert guidance of Professor Satterfield of the University of California, San Francisco. You will explore CBT's roots in Socratic and stoic philosophy, build a toolkit of CBT techniques, and hear about the latest research about its outcomes. Additionally this intriguing and practical course allows you to take on the role of medical student, physician, psychologist, and patient.
Throughout the course you'll explore issues that cause people to seek out therapy. In some cases you'll get to hear Dr. Satterfield working with a patient, and in others you'll be delving into research to find what causes issues and how CBT helps to resolve them.
Everyone has something about their life that they would like to improve. With the tools in CBT and the desire to make your situation better, you can create lasting change in your life.

A must listen for those with depression or anxiety
These lectures are well structured and easy to listen to. They contain great tools and information about CBT and how it can help anxiety, depression, addiction and other things people struggle with. I really enjoy the recording from therapy sessions with real people to show the application of the skills. There is also lots of references to other sources that you can go to for more information.
If you have anxiety and or depression and don't know what to do or where to go you should listen to this.

The narrator was a bit fast in communicating and wasnt very good at engaging his audience, there were parts that was very interesting to listen to although i think majority of the people will have a short attention span for a narration like this.

Great addition to my counseling practice
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I highly recommend this book to psychology practitioners and motivated clients. It is well organized and well read. I listen while I do my daily exercise (walking). I often end up writing emails to myself to remember to look up certain topics when I arrive home.
What did you like best about this story?
This is a difficult question to answer because I like it all so much. I think the narration was particularly outstanding. The narrator is straightforward and cites references or appropriate links when needed. I have found some audible narrator of scientific information try to be funny or cute, and it ends up distracting from the narration. This is not the case with Dr. Satterfield.
Which character – as performed by Professor Jason M. Satterfield – was your favorite?
Himself. He narrates the book based on his own research.

This book is extremely broad and has no depth at all. The title "Techniques for Retraining Your Brain" is total garbage. It gives you surface level knowledge of a range of ailments. A quick Wikipedia search for each of these different ailments would be much quicker and much more fruitful.
From this book I was expecting to learn how to recognize negative thoughts, and then learn strategies to rationalize them so they aren't debilitating to one's mood or self-esteem. I got none of this. Here is a breakdown of each lecture:
-This is what depression is.
-This is how many people it affects.
-CBT can help with this. (But no information on HOW)
-Here's a really boring example of a patient talking about depression.
-Here's more surface level information about depression BUT NO COGNITIVE STRATEGIES to deal with it.
-Replace depression with whatever other ailment he's talking about in a different lecture and you have the whole course summed up.
I can't seem to grasp why anyone would see this as useful unless you're in an extremely low state and just need something to get you out of bed. Perhaps this could be that push to get some meaningful help?
I'm reading "Feeling Good" right now by David Burns and the first 10% of this book gives more information than this whole "course".
What could The Great Courses have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Talk about COGNITIONS!
Would you be willing to try another one of Professor Jason M. Satterfield’s performances?
Definitely not.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger.

Great tool.
I enjoyed learning about cognitive behavior therapy. I think it is a great self help tool and can be used by everyone to evaluate their beliefs and perceptions of the world around them and how they interact with it.

interesting for students of psychology
The book was very informative. It provided lots of resources for serious study. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to practice therapy.

Very Practical
As a result of going through some difficult times in my life, and at my doctor's suggestion, I began seeing a therapist for cognitive behavioral therapy. I wasn't satisfied, so I began listening to this audio book on CBT. It helped me understand that the therapist was setting the groundwork in our first few sessions, and gave me a very thorough understanding of how CBT works and the many different varieties of treatment and strategies that are available. I strongly recommend this book.

I just couldn't get into this....
Would you try another book from The Great Courses and/or Professor Jason M. Satterfield?
Of course. One book does not an author make! It's possible that I just didn't appreciate this example.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
The moment when the author tried to engage experiment subjects by asking them to answer questions while being recorded.
Would you be willing to try another one of Professor Jason M. Satterfield’s performances?
Yes, but if I experienced the same result, I'd avoid his books in future.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. I'm fascinated by Neuropsychology, but the openly promotional manner in the way this book opened probably put me in a skeptical mood as a reader.
Any additional comments?
There seemed to be a lot of unnecessary 'padding' out in the initial chapters that just turned me off this book. The author was trying to illustrate key points by using real subjects. This effort should be commended, as the change in narrator helped maintain appeal. Sadly, the subjects were either poorly chosen, or the editing of these elements of the book was omitted in the final version. As an e-reader, I need the sound to be clear, distinct, and entertaining. Brevity and interweaving concepts throughout the e-book is the key to readers keeping interest.

Just not my thing
I figured the knowledge imparted would be more generally usable but unless one plans to provide therapy it's not the most interesting book.

A solid introduction to CBT
The Author/Narrator has a very kind tenor, this guides the entire course. The course is systematic, switching from symptom to symptom to break up any monotony. Numerous cases and recordings from actual therapy sessions are used as the primary teaching tool throughout the course. This provides context for the ideas and techniques being presented. This is an over arching introduction into what a course of CBT may look like. If you are interested in learning more about psychology in general, and in being exposed to techniques to help with the turmoil of life, this is a good start.

So personable and full of grace
Professor Satterfield clearly knows his business and believes in it. He believes that people can be better. I really enjoyed the personal interviews and learned a lot from his patients. It is a hopeful course and a useful one

Good but I struggled a bit
This is a lengthy listen. Thankfully the narrator is easy to listen to and the real-life people likeable, which makes it easier to continue. But around half way through, it just felt really heavy and some of it un-relatable or unrealistic to practise in my life and so I really struggled to keep up listening. I think this could probably have been a much shorter; I've come away with a better understanding of what happens during CBT but could I sit down and practice self-help? No, I'd have to listen again and again for it to become practical and understood.

Amazing course - both theory and practice
This is one of the best non-fiction audiobooks I have ever purchased, and hands-down better than any self-help book I have ever used. (I include even David Burns' classic Feeling Good, which is great but takes a lot more effort to get into and apply). Professor Satterfield strikes a wonderful balance between very clear and concrete practical guidance for daily life and setting out the theoretical underpinnings of the CBT model and carefully explaining the evidence base for the various techniques. The case studies are very illuminating and Professor Satterfield does a great job of avoiding a reductive or overly schematised picture of the challenges of human existence within the CBT framework. Highly, highly recommended.

impressively interesting
As i am studying a counselling diploma, i was looking for a better understanding of CBT. I could not have asked for more! Everything was explained so clearly and thoroughly and the examples were a great way of seeing how the techniques are put into practice.
I really wish there were more audible books like this!! Driving will not be the same without it!

Where does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best lectures I listened to, I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in psychology, especially CBT.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Definitely the end, as it was so uplifting for me, but I found lots of helpful suggestions throughout the book.
What about Professor Jason M. Satterfield’s performance did you like?
Everything. Really engaging performance.

Excellent content and instructive course
These lectures cover cbt theory and practise for an astonishingly comprehensive range of psychological and physical conditions and life challenges. I have learnt far more than I expected and the breadth of medical knowledge and applications for cbt is astounding. A very informative course that introduces you to many tools available in books/apps/studies/available questionnaires and ideas to improve my treatments across the many conditions I come across. The only area not covered appeared to be cbt or dvt or mcbt for the modern epidemic of self harm but the principles offered can be applied to any situation.

The best book I have ever had from the start I was locked in. It was very insightful and eye opening. It's just a most read. I am all the better for having listened and will be starting all over again. A joy.

CBT
I am a certified Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist and found this book amazing. Jason has a voice that is so easy to listen to. He explains things in a comprehensive and practical way that is easy to transfer to practical applications with my clients. The recorded work with his clients was excellent. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to professional clinical therapists
