    About this audiobook

    We all know people who are hard to get along with. It might be your spouse, mother, neighbor, friend, or colleague. In his new book Feeling Good Together, Dr. David D. Burns describes Cognitive Interpersonal Therapy (CIT), a radically different method for developing more loving and satisfying relationships with the people you care about.

    Based on twenty-five years of clinical experience and new, groundbreaking research involving more than 1,000 individuals, Feeling Good Together is filled with helpful examples and tools, such as the Relationship Satisfaction Test, the Blame Cost-Benefit Analysis, the Relationship Journal, Five Secrets of Effective Communication, the Intimacy Exercise, and more. Using these techniques, Dr. Burns shows you how to resolve virtually any kind of relationship conflict almost instantly.

    • 5/5
      Very useful communication tools for understanding and working with emotions.
    • 5/5
      It works worthwhile reading and implementing. I listened to it multiple times.
    • 5/5
      very good, meaningful and sometimes funny. it broadened my understanding of relationships.
    • 3/5
      Like many books of this genre, it seems to be one that can help a couple who are both interested in changing their relationship to make it better. He provides good basic instructions on communication skills that can make a huge difference if people are really willing to apply them. Better still, he explains why these practices will make a difference.
      Like many authors, he also says many times that if you do this.... those around you will begin to respond differently, I continue to struggle with that premise. In order for your changes to make a difference in those around you, those around you have to be perceptive enough to notice a change. And the changes he describes are hard to perfect, much less maintain, without positive feedback.

      Excellent advice. Difficult to put into practice in the heat of the situation. I like his ideas related to EAR (empathy, assertiveness, and respect) and his five secrets of good communication (disarming by agreeing with them, empathizing with others ideas and feelings, inquiring, explaining how you feel, and stroking by positive comments). Dr. Burns suggests using the worksheets and doing writing exercises, which I did not do because I listened to this on CD in the car. It might help practicing these concepts.
