Yes because at the end of the day, it is those actions that shape our behavior and that is why stress management, as mentioned in this book is quite effective.

Yes, but controlling anger and stress are the main things this book is about. Controlling these will help of course, but we need remedies and even medications if things do not work out using mind games or other natural remedies mentioned in this book.

Yes, cognition has an effect on behavior but it is wrong to say that it is solely responsible for all-out bad behaviors. Bad behavior may result from many factors present in the moment rather than just thoughts.

The Bible says in 1 Timothy 1:7 Living Translation
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
Knowing and understanding that God wants me to live without fear and anxiety and that He has given us the power by His Spirit to walk in that reality really helps me. As humans God has given us the power to overcome fear. We need His help and may need the help of others but unlike animals we can control our actions and be responsible for them.

I totally agree with you, even if you want to control your thoughts and emotions all the time there are factors that do not enable people to do so. It always depends on the situation that the person is living. Not only biological factors come to play, your environment is key on how you feel and react.

Yes, I agree with that. Cognition is not solely responsible for all bad actions. BAd action sare more based on our current situations and our life experiences.

Yes totally. For example, if some person is abused, they may become the abuser when they grows up. This is a trend used to study serial killers. Cognition cannot decide the bad actions alone. But it is the reult of all our accumulated life experiences.

Cognition definitely can influence your behavior but the thing is a lot of other things also affect your behavior along with your thoughts like the situation. So it is definitely not cognition alone that has a part to play in bad behavior.

If we are to make decisions when under stress, the teachings of CBT can actually hold true to a certain percentage. The actions needn't all be bad though.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑11 Aug 2020, 06:53 Wy_Bertram wrote:

Although there may be numerous external factors surrounding us, mindset, and personal interests play a bigger role in stress and anxiety.

Because CBT is focussed on changing the harmful and bad cognitive behavior, it's relatively has a higher possibility of preventing an individual from doing wrong.rahilshajahan wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020, 09:16If we are to make decisions when under stress, the teachings of CBT can actually hold true to a certain percentage.

I agree with you. CBT helps in reacting to first array of negative thoughts that barge in when facing a stressful situation. I really enjoyed reading that part of the book.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑20 Aug 2020, 01:45Because CBT is focussed on changing the harmful and bad cognitive behavior, it's relatively has a higher possibility of preventing an individual from doing wrong.rahilshajahan wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020, 09:16If we are to make decisions when under stress, the teachings of CBT can actually hold true to a certain percentage.
