Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Coddling of the America Mind by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff, read by Jonathan Haidt. What doesn't kill you makes you weaker. Always trust your feelings. Life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths contradict basic psychological principles about well-being as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. And yet they have become increasingly woven into education, culminating in a stifling culture of 'safetyism' that began on American college campuses.

The mind is a marvel. It's at the centre of our most rewarding experiences. It lets in awe and laughter, love and wisdom, and helps us overcome life's great trials. It's our greatest asset, but it can also be our greatest adversary, allowing in self-doubt, anxious thoughts and depression. It can magnify our fears and undermine our best intentions, and lead us into life's darkest corners. Based on James O'Loghlin and Professor Ian Hickie's popular podcast, Minding Your Mind is an exploration into everything you've ever wanted to know about how the mind works.

Why does it feel so natural to be compassionate and kind to those we care about - yet so hard to treat ourselves the same way? "Our culture teaches us to use self-criticism for motivation and to build self-esteem by constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else," says Dr. Kristin Neff. "We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves."

This is a book I will listen to again. Very interesting and accessible. Beautifully written I the way stories of experiences with clients were used to illustrate concepts. It gave me a deeper understanding of how powerful CBT can be and has left me wanting to learn more.

Horrible
This book is ridiculous, not to mention extremely repetitive, and some of the examples are just stupid.
Its basically a bunch of case stories telling people their feelings are wrong and somehow expecting that that help.
Saying 'but why?' to everything doesn't change your brain...

Good book, not good for audible
The book is great and I fully intend to purchase the physical book. The format just isn't great for an audible book. There is an enhancement that ties with the book and you lose about 1/3 of the critical information from this enhancement as very little of the enhancement is read through. In my opinion from a audible book stand point this book is abridged as you have to download the enhancement and read the other 1/3 for the information this book has and it is important to follow with the figures on the enhancement as you are listening to the book. I listen to books during my commute so I can't follow along with the enhancement or I would crash into someone. Again, great book I highly recommend reading it, just purchase the physical copy and find the time to read it.

Great book for those dealing with depression!
I highly recommend this book if you struggle with depression. It is very helpful. Note, though, it'll take some work on your part, but it's well worth it.
Having read the Handbook first, and now having listened to this book, I actually recommend the Handbook version first. It forces you to do activities that will help you, whereas this book merely talks about it (in detail). I still liked this book, though, because it reminded me of everything I had done in the Handbook, which is about all I can do while I'm driving, anyhow. (Last I checked, the Handbook is not available in audio.)
The reader of this audio book is excellent. He actually sounds engaged, as though he's Dr. Burns himself, giving you the advice right then and there. Kudos to him. (My only pet peeve about him is he pronounces "often" as "off-ten." I was glad he didn't also say "soff-ten," "liss-ten," or "sall-mon.")
IMHO, you can skip the last 2-3 hours of this audio, which deals with antidepressant drugs. It's full of biology and chemistry lessons and lists of side-effects. He also talks ad nauseam about when or why to take drugs for depression. It's ad nauseam because his answer is always the same: therapy alone can work, or therapy plus drugs, but never drugs alone. Unfortunately he felt the need to say that over and over and over again.

It helps to understand the basis of depression. It has personally helped me to challenge my thoughts. I used to believe that I had some kind of chemical imbalance but once I looked deeper I realized I was constantly having subconscious negative thoughts.
I track my mood with the Joie app and have noticed that no other method of treatment has beaten the techniques in this book. Drugs didn't come close. I hope you get as much benefit as I did.

Well done
The combination of a well written book with a superb narrator makes for easy listening. While this is nonfiction at at times quite clinical, I'm going to miss listening to it every day.
One complaint- how does an Audible listener get the oft referred to 'Enhanced Portion' of this Audiobook?

Brilliant
Would you listen to Feeling Good again? Why?
Yes, life changing
What did you like best about this story?
It's ability to help you create your own "Matrix"
What about George Newbern’s performance did you like?
Pleasant voice, able to listen for long stretches.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Many
Any additional comments?
Most other self-help books after this one are some form of a rehash of this book. I have always been a huge Anthony Robbins fan, and now I see from where much (not all) of his material comes. I found the presentation and supplemental PDF delivered the messages in a more digestible and applicable way than most other books and authors on the subject.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The author spends way too much time explaining examples, and seems as though he's speaking from a place of authority rather than understanding. It seemed to me as though he couldn't truly relate to the mind of a depressed person. While his education and career have given the knowledge to understand depression, he cannot relate on a personal level. I've read other cognitive behavioral self help books so I'm familiar with the techniques. The other books that I've read were extremely helpful and changed my life. I'm trying to pull myself out of a depression right now, and tried using this book as a tool to brush up on my techniques in order to help myself. While there were some helpful reminders, and one significantly helpful tidbit that gave me new insight to my way of thinking, the majority of the book is useless. There is a lot of rambling, you have to fast forward to get to the helpful points. With a plethora of other self help books available, I suggest going with a different author such as Gillian Butler. Her books changed my life and brought me out of a severe depression.

This book had the opposite effect for me...
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would not likely recommend this book because I found it to be pretty depressing. Maybe it would help someone who isn't feeling well. It's a bit of a risk though.
Were the concepts of this book easy to follow, or were they too technical?
When books are too long, the information they present can be difficult to implement because it get's lost in the forest of pages. I also felt like many of the assumptions about the reader ended up weighing me down and kept me from absorbing the lessons.
What about George Newbern’s performance did you like?
A narrator you can't remember has done their job well.
Do you think Feeling Good needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
A shortened, updated summary would be nice. This would probably make it more accessible.
Any additional comments?
There are many assumptions being made on behalf of the author, like that the person reading the book is struggling. I felt like it was a bit dated. I would look up an overview before attempting to read it again.

So boring
What didn’t you like about George Newbern’s performance?
So obviously reading a script & trying to sound interesting. Instead sounds condescending and patronising.
Any additional comments?
I don't know how this has managed to get so many good stars.. it's boring... and because it's just a book being read out loud by an awful narrator, I couldn't hold onto any practical tips. It just all melted into some monotonous pulp. Also there are references to diagrams - hardly relevant on an audio book! Waste of money...

3 key takeaways of this book
Emotional and psychological health as well as physical is a vital factor for high performance in Pro life.
A top notch practitioner and therapist David D. Burns, M.D., in his bestseller book Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy outlines scientifically proven techniques to cure anxiety, guilt, pessimism, procrastination, low self-esteem, and other "black holes" of depression even without drugs.
3 key takeaways of this book:
# Feeling good everyday is possible even in harsh conditions. Recognise what causes your mood swings, analyse the cause of your emotion and learn most of it.
# Avoid addiction to love and approval. It slows down personal growth. It can be as dangerous as negative thoughts which lead to negative feelings which lead to particular most likely not in personal favor behavior and lower performance.
# Practice Judo in detection of automatic thoughts and distractions. Recruit Judo techniques to gather power of negative automatic thinking patterns, criticism, "do-nothingism" moments, anger, fear and guilt.

Get this book.Full stop.
This book is so much more than being about just helping clinically depressed people. It is for anyone and everyone, whether they believe they are emotionally OK or not. Great book, enjoyed it a ton. Will listen to it again in the future, for sure.

For therapists and layman alike
As a cognitive behavioural therapist myself I have found this book useful for my own practice as well as recommending it to my patients. As an audiobook it takes the sting out of reading and for someone with depression this can be useful. Please check national guidelines and new developments in the field of CBT as this book is old now and can be dated in some cases.

Very useful
As a teacher, I found this interesting both professionally and personally. I have actually been using some of the strategies for challenging unhelpful automatic thought for behaviour management.

The best
It is so releaving to find out that we all are human and make mistakes and all the misery we have comes mostly from our thoughts. Book has lots of techniques to use to overcome the parttern of negative thinking. Also I have to add that the reader's voice is somehow calming :)
