Month: September 2020

My friend Evan introduced me to the concept of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, as well as two books that introduce the subject.

Seeing as I have a keen interest in mental health optimisation, this concept is very appealing to me.

What is CBT?

From the Wikipedia entry:

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psycho-social intervention^[1][2] that aims to improve mental health.^[3] CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions (e.g. thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes) and behavior, improving emotional regulation,^[2][4] and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems

A new month came and went (10 days ago!) You know what that means: a new batch Audible credits!

I have added Rich Dad Poor Dad: 20th Anniversary Edition to my library. 

Now that the hard part is over with, it is just a case of listening to it and collecting my thoughts. 

Well, not really – you just sit and type for a while. Sometimes interesting ideas come out, in theory at least. I have been trying to keep a diary as well, and it is going no better at all!

It all boils down to time-management: making the time to do what is important.

The last couple of weeks I have been feeling very out of control with my time, especially at work. Then, when I got home I just collapsed into a heap and steeled myself against the coming day.
