Telling Yourself the Truth by William Backus & Marie Chapian

I read this book 30 years ago when it was first published. I recently read the book again 30 years later and I am amazed at how this book has influenced my thinking.

The book talks about what is call "Misbelief Therapy" which involves three steps (1) locate and identify the misbeliefs in our thinking, these are lies we tell ourselves. (2) Argue against these misbeliefs, we counter these lies we utilize in our self-talk. (3) Replace the misbelief with the truth, negative thinking is replaced with Biblical truth.

The authors introduces and defines misbelief therapy in the first part of the book, the rest of the book illustrates and applies these three principles of misbelief therapy to various problems we face.

The subtitle of the books reads Find Your Way Out of Depression, Anxiety, Fear, Anger, and Other Common Problems by Applying the Principles of Misbelief Therapy.

An older book but one worth reading.
