Summary: Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science. My guest tonight, cognitive behavioral therapist Sarah Edelman, Ph.D., will explain how you can eliminate the need to spend years and thousands of dollars in therapy by using reason to solve your emotional problems. Her book is Change Your Thinking: Overcome Stress, Anxiety, and Depression, and Improve Your Life with CBT. The late Dr. Albert Ellis, who along with Aaron Beck, originated much of cognitive behavioral therapy, has been a big influence on me and the thinking you read in my column. Tonight’s show -- and Dr. Edelman’s book -- is based largely on his work. Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sunday, 7-8 p.m. Pacific Time, 10-11 p.m. Eastern Time, at blogtalkradio.com/amyalkon or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher. Please buy my science-based but funny book about why people are rude and how to change things, I SEE RUDE PEOPLE: One woman's battle to beat some manners into impolite society. And please ask a newspaper near you to carry my award-winning syndicated, science-based advice column...if they don't already!
