CLASSIC SELF-HELP FROM A RESPECTED PIONEER OF PSYCHOTHERAPY
All of us worry about something， big or small， every day。 But much of the emotional misery we feel is an overreaction， and it can be significantly reduced， using the techniques you ll find in this landmark book。
World renowned therapist Dr。 Albert Ellis， who created Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy （REBT）， believed that anger， anxiety， and depression are not only unnecessary， they re unethical， because when we allow ourselves to become emotionally upset， we re being unfair and unjust to "ourselves。" Thinking negative thoughts is a "choice "we can refuse to make。 Applying the proven， time-tested principles of REBT is a simple， logical way to find true mental health and happiness。
REBT acknowledges the power of emotions， but it also helps us understand which feelings are healthy and which are not。 This classic book teaches you how to:
*Retrain your brain to focus on the positive aspects of your life and face each obstacle without unnecessary despair
*Control your emotional destiny
*Refuse to upset yourself about upsetting yourself
*Solve practical problems as well as emotional problems
*Conquer the tyranny of shoulds
and much more， providing all the tools you need to take back your life and your happiness。 If you can refuse to make yourself miserable， you re that much closer to making yourself happy every day。"

If you’re an overthinking and anxious human like me you should read this book！ It’s a fast read with full of redundancy。 The author does this to drive， in many ways， his simple but insightful point。I’ll leave you with a quote from Albert Ellis that led me to this book， maybe it’ll pique your interest too-“There are three musts that hold us back: I must do well。 You must treat me well。 And the world must be easy。”

John David Craycraft ，

Excellent REBT guidance。 it could really benefit you。Counseling student here -This is a really solid， and thorough introduction to REBT。 It’s odd that most of Ellis’s books seem to be in the style of self help but regardless， they are in-depth guides to REBT。 I particularly enjoy Carl Rogers’s work， but it is non-directive and more of a philosophy for helping people。 REBT is directive， and is more so self-directed。 I recommend this， whole-heartedly。

I found this book helpful。 It’s a short enough read that it’s not overwhelming， and I appreciate the repetitiveness of the information so that it really sinks in。 It gives many real world examples to help you think through how his ideas could apply to your own life。 If you struggle with beating yourself up over things （big or small） this book is a good start！

I’m torn on whether to really like this book or really hate it。 What I like: The difference in this method of therapy vs others such psychoanalysis is that instead of focusing on childhood and laying blame on your upbringing that caused you to be the way you are， REBT teaches you that you have the full capability to change the way you think in order to change the way you feel。 The book goes into details on how to look at your thought and feelings in a structured way。 This structure is called the I’m torn on whether to really like this book or really hate it。 What I like: The difference in this method of therapy vs others such psychoanalysis is that instead of focusing on childhood and laying blame on your upbringing that caused you to be the way you are， REBT teaches you that you have the full capability to change the way you think in order to change the way you feel。 The book goes into details on how to look at your thought and feelings in a structured way。 This structure is called the ABC of REBT。 （It claims this is a scientific method， but I would argue that this is merely analytical if not mostly philosophical thinking， but I digress）。 It starts with a goal （G）， or a desired outcome， like passing a testA = activating event， some people identify this as a “trigger” to an emotion （usually negative）， or a block preventing you from your goal （G）， like getting bad grades on a testC = consequence of （A） blocking （G）， like feeling depressed because you didn’t pass a testB = beliefs-feelings-behavior， these are either irrational or rational and sometimes， it is the irrational belief （iB） that misleads you to feel miserable at （C）。 This is an important piece in this structure because more often than not， we’re not aware of our belief， and that can make us feel helpless to the consequence （C） or （A） blocking （G）。 For example when we fail at something， we feel depressed （C） because we “unawaringly” and irrationally believe that we are bad “what’s wrong with me？”D = The key focus in this method is becoming aware of our （B）， and disputing it （D）。 This is called DiB， or Disputing irrational Beliefs， like why does failing a test make me a bad person？ Or that there’s something’s wrong with me？ Did anyone die from me not passing this test？E = Effective new philosophy- a new way of thinking。 The final part is replacing the irrational belief （iB） with a new belief， like I don’t need to pass this particular test， I prefer to pass it the first time， but I can take it again next time， or make up with other credits。 I don’t HAVE TO or MUST do well， so long as I’m learning。 So while it’s inconvenient for me to not do well this time， I know I can do better next time。 The BAD: in the attempt to give many anecdotes to illustrate this ABC structure and make it more relatable - and most of them do work， the book gave an example of Georgiana and her supposedly irrationally getting upset because her husband lusts after big busted women， in her presence， including while having sex with her。 This anecdote went on to how Georgina， with the help of the author and the therapy group， forced herself to believe in the following rational belief: “I can be loved by David （her husband） and have a good marriage even if he does lust after women with big busts！”Why is this a problem？ Well， this anecdote here made me realize that the structure probably miss an important piece: what about the personal values， I’ll acronym this （V）。 With the above anecdote about Georgiana， it is unclear what her goal （G） is， and what does she value。 This anecdote seems to indicate that what’s rational for her is to have a happy marriage according to her husband （be okay with his lust of other women）， over valuing herself and disregard her own feelings to make things happy for her husband。 Seems like bullshit to me。 Another point of concern is how this method of vigorously disputing against thinking of yourself as bad is kind of reminding me of how Anna Soronkin， a con-artist who conned 275，000 USD from others， one of them now in deep financial debt， yet don’t think of herself as a bad person in an interview on the 60 Minutes show。 So is she not a bad person then because no one is bad， they’re just human who does bad deed， even if it’s immoral or unethical？ Or is there a huge assumption that this ABC only applies to good ethical or moral folks who sometimes do something bad？With that said though， I still recommend reading this book， but read it with your own analytical mind and take it with a grain of salt。 I always recommend finding and using different methods to become more self-aware， so ABC of REBT and using DiB is recommended。 I might reread this book again and maybe the above questions will be answered by rereading， before the internet jumps on the comment box and set me straight… 。。。more

When I was doing counseling at the college I frequently recommended this book to students and clients。 It really helps people to recognize and refute their irrational thoughts which lead to anxiety and misery。 It's an easy book to read and structured in simple， short chapters， with homework suggestions。 Albert Ellis was an ardent atheist but many Christian psychologists have "redeemed" this book and made it their own。 When I was doing counseling at the college I frequently recommended this book to students and clients。 It really helps people to recognize and refute their irrational thoughts which lead to anxiety and misery。 It's an easy book to read and structured in simple， short chapters， with homework suggestions。 Albert Ellis was an ardent atheist but many Christian psychologists have "redeemed" this book and made it their own。 。。。more

A fantastic read。 There is quite a bit of truth to RET， and I have found it helpful。 The method is quite compatible in a Christian worldview。

Amo a Albert Ellis， amo la TREC， pero definitivamente este libro como autoayuda deja mucho que desear。 Puede ser recomendado en sesiones pero con bastante cuidado， quizás un capítulo en específico， pero leerlo todo es cansado， técnico （desde la perspectiva de paciente） y repetitivo。

This was a wild ride。 The entire time I envisioned a chaotic old man yelling at me。 As some others have noted， his approach seems almost insulting in its simplicity。 I'd suggest that the primary issue is not with the approach to resolving upset or "misery" （perhaps too strong a word for what he's seeking to address with these techniques？）， but with the fact that there is little here in the way of instruction around determining whether what could be considered akin to positive self-talk is suffic This was a wild ride。 The entire time I envisioned a chaotic old man yelling at me。 As some others have noted， his approach seems almost insulting in its simplicity。 I'd suggest that the primary issue is not with the approach to resolving upset or "misery" （perhaps too strong a word for what he's seeking to address with these techniques？）， but with the fact that there is little here in the way of instruction around determining whether what could be considered akin to positive self-talk is sufficient to address whatever issue you're facing。 He often references cases of his in which individuals expressed profound anxiety or depression and， yes， even suicidal ideation， but makes no clear distinction between the suitability of his approach for these individuals and those with "less severe" concerns。 I've little doubt the author could and would challenge the above critiques， but I can't say I'd ever recommend this book to someone struggling with depression or any other mental illness。 I'd fear it would send the wrong message: "you're to blame。" Or "you're irrational for feeling this way。" Both of which are， to my knowledge， common sources of shame and further upset （a fact which he admits in the book， but fails to address the potentially catastrophic implications of） （perhaps a corollary of this criticism is the failure to carefully and thoroughly address the reality of the biological component of many neuroses: he vaguely asserts that his methods work "most" of the time， but fails to clearly outline the multifactorial nature of many psychiatric/psychological disturbances and， in so doing， fails to state clearly the necessary limitations of an approach that seems not to account （at all） for the biological component of the things that plague many individuals; indeed， he spends virtually no time addressing the qualities that would qualify or disqualify someone from candidacy for this sort of approach）。 I purchased the book from the kindle library because it was only $2 （on sale） and I find psychiatry and psychology quite fascinating。 But I'd struggle to find any reason to suggest that this book is worth much more than that paltry sum。 Nevertheless， as someone who doesn't find himself debilitated by any form of serious mental illness， I can't deny the value of highlighting the importance of forcing objectivity into the subjective experiences of our daily lives。 There's much to be gained （in Ellis's opinion， as well as mine） from leveraging the scientific method in this way。 Whether or not that's sufficient to resolve or even improve serious emotional or psychological disturbances， I suppose I'm not technically qualified to say。 Maybe the primary issue with this book is its author's failure to clearly distinguish its intended audience， or maybe he genuinely believes these methods are suitable even for those struggling with profound （an arbitrary term itself） depression， anxiety， etc。， but either way， the book is repetitive and I'd be lying if I said I didn't have to force myself to finish it。 。。。more

3 key lessons from this book， including potential spoilers。 1。 Emotions arise naturally， but wisdom is being able to differentiate between painful feelings （concern， annoyance， sadness） and emotional disturbance （panic， anger， depression）。 When experiencing the latter， aim for a shift to the former， rather than to feel great right away。 2。 Behind every bout of emotional disturbance lies an unhealthy "should"， "ought"， or "must"。 I should be better at my job by now。 My boss ought to treat me fair 3 key lessons from this book， including potential spoilers。 1。 Emotions arise naturally， but wisdom is being able to differentiate between painful feelings （concern， annoyance， sadness） and emotional disturbance （panic， anger， depression）。 When experiencing the latter， aim for a shift to the former， rather than to feel great right away。 2。 Behind every bout of emotional disturbance lies an unhealthy "should"， "ought"， or "must"。 I should be better at my job by now。 My boss ought to treat me fairly。 I must get this job or I am utterly incompetent。 These are rigid， absolute， and dogmatic。 They go against the law of nature。 3。 Once you identify these "should"s， "ought"s， and "must"s， you can change from an unhelpful critic to a helpful one。 For example， rather than saying "I must not lose this job"， you could say "It would be inconvenient to lose this job and I would prefer not to。 But if it does happen， I can survive it。" You can challenge your irrational beliefs by asking these 6 questions:a） Is the story your brain is telling you realistic and factual？ b） Is it logical？c） Is it flexible and rigid？d） Can this belief be proven wrong？e） Does this belief involve deservingness？ （e。g。 karma） f） Is it a sustainable belief I can follow in any situation？ 。。。more
