I've read Burns and I understand what you're trying to say, but that's one of those things that's true but oversimplified to the point of being off-putting. And in and of itself it's not enough: you have to know the full rationale behind CBT.
And maybe more importantly, not everyone benefits from CBT! Sometimes people are unhappy because there's deep emotional work they need to do first.
