One of my favorite quotes: "There are a million reasons that things happen, and not all of them have to do with you"

I’m a huge fan of CBT. It massively improved my life for the better. I did it on my own over several years, based on a book I read, though I probably continue to do it subconsciously. Unfortunately all my books were destroyed in a flood, & I can’t find the book online (it’s at least 20yrs old). Matt, or anyone else, do you have a recommendation for a specific general purpose book on CBT? Because I need to find a book or books I can recommend to others interested in doing CBT themselves.
Re: Alexander’s dislike for feeling false motivations are being attributed to him - essentially being misunderstood - seems to be a fundamental sensitivity for many if not most people ime, including myself. The way I do my CBT is very much like Alex’s approach, too, FTR.
