Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Calming and Practical
Calm the Chaos: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Workbook or Adults is calming and practical. The workbook format is helpful to listen to the narrator, pause, and write down the reflections. The focus on stopping the negative looping is practical to move out of "overthinking and chaos" causing stress. The additional guide is a bonus.

Worth Every Minute of Listening Time
You know that feeling when you stumble across exactly what you needed right when you needed it? That's what this audiobook was for me. I've been dealing with anxiety and negative thought patterns for years, and honestly, I was a bit skeptical about another self-help book. But wow - the practical CBT techniques actually clicked for me. The narrator's approach felt like having a knowledgeable friend guide me through the fog in my head. No fluffy metaphors or unrealistic promises - just solid, actionable steps that I've already started using. The chapters on sleep and anxiety management were game-changers for me. Worth every minute of listening time!

Relaxing and Soothing
This is an extraordinary audiobook, it’s a little above 5 hours but a 5 hours worth every bit of second used. It is practical and engaging. Every chapter leaves you feeling relaxed, calm and relieved from every stress.
You have to fully embrace the process of healing to truly be healed and the narrator of this audiobook did exceptionally well in narrating this book in a subtle voice that creates an atmosphere of calm. If you are having difficulty sleeping or you are feeling distraught or just completely overwhelmed; I absolutely recommend the CBT audiobook for you. It’s informative and therapeutic

So many calming ideas!
This book has given me a lot of strategies to help me calm my anxiety. One of my favorite techniques in this book is cognitive restructuring where you learn how to reframe your thoughts into more positive ones and I think that over time this will really help me out.

A Practical CBT Guide for Clarity and Balance
Angela Wade's Calm the Chaos offers a practical and accessible guide to managing stress, anxiety, and negative thoughts through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Narrated warmly by Katie Hagaman, the audiobook simplifies complex concepts into actionable exercises for everyday use, making it suitable for beginners and those seeking deeper understanding.
Hagaman’s engaging narration keeps listeners focused and motivated. While the audiobook is highly valuable, pairing it with the written version may enhance the experience due to the visual nature of some workbook elements.

Guide and Workbook for Managing Mental Health
Angela Wade's book, Calm the Chaos: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Workbook for Adults, A Comprehensive CBT Guide for Managing Depression, Anxiety, and Stress, delves deeply into mental health, specifically anxiety, stress, and depression, providing explanations, steps, activities, and a CBT workbook to help transform chaos into calm. This book is comprehensive, and the author seems to have experience in intensely handling mental health issues (behaviors of anxiety, stress, and depression) from beginning to end. She realizes that thoughts control how we handle behavior that will lead us in or out of stages of mental health. She teaches us the art of reshaping our thoughts for a more positive mindset. She takes us into the family dynamics of how they handle anger, helps us with strategies to tackle depression, understands the initiatives and complexity of bipolar, and uses CBT workbook techniques (writing and answering questions as fact-finding) to manage our mental health. This audio teaches us how to challenge our insomnia to improve our sleep and help our mental health. She even uses storytelling therapy to connect our strengths and skills. Finally, she provides us with a bonus chapter on meditation and deep breathing to use in combating stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. This book is a perfect resource for people who have a challenging time controlling their thoughts and emotions, which could lead to unwanted mental illness. I highly recommend this book.
