CBT Singapore will be held on Saturday, April 9, 2016 at the Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay. The workshop, entitled Enhancing Personal Effectiveness, runs from 9:00AM to 12:15PM.

Leveraging CBT Tools to Live a More Successful Life

Today's CBT provides many scientifically-tested tools to help growth-oriented individuals “self-actualize” (i.e., optimize their personal potential). State-of-the-art CBT includes a collection of powerful techniques for overcoming procrastination, optimizing time management, decreasing rumination, letting go of the past, silencing self-criticism—and improving decision-making. This module will equip you with versatile CBT tools to boost the functioning and improve the mental health of patients, dependents—and the ongoing project called “you”.

How safe is your city? Singapore's crime cases are the lowest in over 30 years. The murder rate was 0.2 per 100,000 in 2012, which means you should feel less safe in Canada (1.6) particularly in Winnipeg (5.6). Drug abuse rates are the world's lowest (UN data). And last year there wasn't a single "snatch theft" for an 80 day stretch. Even white-collar crime is uncommon: Transparency International ranks Singapore the 3rd least corrupt country in the world, tied with Norway (2013 stats).
