Getting to Know David

David Answers Personal Questions!

We all know David Burns as the creator of TEAM-CBT, but not many people get to know David, the person. It is fun to know David the person, because he is just like all of us. He is a real person (not a robot), full of life and love.

I want everyone in our audience to be able to relate to David on a deeper level, to feel a sense of connection with him, and hopefully for all of us to build our sense of community with each other. Thanks so much to Stan Dickens, TEAM UK, for submitting these questions and sparking this discussion. The complete list of questions was much longer, but I (Rhonda) have selected the ones listed below.

I hope you like listening to this podcast, Rhonda

The questions are not necessarily in the order listed below, but all are answered on this podcast. David’s answers are all 100% spontaneous, and you will hear them on the podcast!

Music & Entertainment

1.  Which band do you like most, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones? (David, please say The Beatles!)

2.  Following on from that, what kind of music do you listen to? Can you tell us about some of your favorite musicians, bands, or composers?

Here are some links to just a few of a great many favorite songs of mine. David

3.  If your life were turned into a film, who would play you?

4.  Can you speak with an English accent? Would you be brave enough to give it a try right now?

Career & Professional Reflections

5.  If you hadn’t dedicated your life to cognitive behavioral therapy and mental health or authored Feeling Good, what might you have done instead?

6. Is there a common misconception about you or your work that you’d like to clear up?

Personal Insights & Philosophy
