...on CBT that is user-friendly. Something that someone new to CBT could understand pretty easily. Anyone read anything that falls into this category?
Thanks in advance!

David Burns' "Feeling Good" is the one usually recommended about CBT by Babblers. It's friendly, accessible, full of examples and encouragement. And at $8 new, it's cheap! It deals mostly with depression but has lengthy chapters on anger, love, guilt, perfectionism, etc. It does NOT deal with anxiety.
Burns' later book, "The Feeling Good Handbook," also deals with depression but adds chapters on several kinds of anxiety. (It does not deal with anger.) It's also friendly and full of examples. Both should be in any large bookstore.
Burns was a protege of CBT founder Aaron Beck. The books are technically reliable for the CBT techniques he discusses.
