Hi Olivia,
Nice work. Clearly laid out. You simplified complex conditions into an easy to implement self-help while gently urging those with chronic condition(s) as to what types of therapies are used professionals. I can see where that would reduce the fear or resistance to seek help.
Best wishes!
Donna
Such a helpful guide for understanding cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. The applications were easy to understand and the exercises were user-friendly.

This book is well written, understandable, and practical. I am a 70 year old retired male that still has so much to learn despite having four academic degrees. The life changing lesson that you have control over your emotional reaction but not the circumstance is so true. I wish I had applied this truth to my life when I suffered burnout when I was 52, and my career was destroyed. I was fortunate to recover, but if I had this book at the time of my burnout it would have eliminated so much unnecessary emotional pain.
I have been reading and reviewing this author’s work for several years, and I always find her books to be well written and researched. She often writes on hot-button topics like mindfulness and hygge, but her writing and information are usually a cut above others who write on the same topics. I found the two books in this bundle helpful and filled with excellent information. Here are my original reviews:
Review of Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Insightful, Practical Guide to CBT
I have read several books by Olivia Telford, the others on minimalism and hygge, and I was interested to see what her take on a very different topic like cognitive behavioral therapy would be. I have read several books on CBT and found them to be confusing or impractical. As CBT is grounded in science, it needs to be explained in a way that a layperson could understand and ideally in a practical manner as well, which pretty much every other book I’ve read on CBT has failed at. I’m happy to say that Ms. Telford has made both an easily understandable book and a practical one. She clearly lays out what CBT is, including its history and variations. Then she leads the reader through ways that CBT can help in a variety of situations like depression, insomnia, anxiety, addiction, and even nonclinical mental issues like procrastination. She gives several tools along the way, most of which can be used for more than one problem. While each individual section is brief, if followed, it would give you insight into your thoughts and give you ways to break the chains that hold you back. All in all, I thought this book was a wonderful introduction to cognitive behavioral therapy as well as a practical, hands-on guide if you believe self-help would assist you with any of the book’s subjects.
Review of Mindfulness: Practical Exercises to Help with Mindfulness
Mindfulness definitely seems to be a buzzword these days. This book attempts to define it and help you use it to help your life, both dealing with the negatives and cultivating the positives. The book is relatively simple and straightforward beginning with the definition of mindfulness, some simple exercises, and meditation information and techniques. The first section after that goes into detail about destructive negatives, like stress, anger, and anxiety, that mindfulness could potentially help with. The next section looks at how mindfulness can be used to help build better habits (or beat bad ones), relationships, and perhaps a better life. Both of these practical sections have a little article about the topic and include mindfulness exercises that the author believes will help. One tiny little thing bugged me. The author clearly states at the beginning that mindfulness is not meditation, yet she includes meditation in the subtitle, perhaps making the potential reader think that meditation is the only way that mindfulness can be achieved or that this book is only about mindfulness through meditation. As noted above, meditation does have its own chapter, but the exercises in the rest of the book don’t focus on meditation.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
This author is informative and gives useful, practical tips and strategies that work! She has done her homework. I practice and teach mindfulness, and she truly knows what she is talking about. I have used these exercises to relax and bring calm to my life. I loved reading both books! I am learning so much with the homework exercises with CBT. Thank you for writing these books. They have been insightful and a blessing to me. Any reader can benefit from these books.
Thank you for writing these books. They have been a blessing to me. I have used the techniques and strategies. Everyone needs read, learn,, acquire, and live out what is contained in these books.
