I feel this book does add a lot to Ellis' more well known and earlier books; this is the mature and warm view of an old man looking back, seeing more of 'the wood for the trees' - recognising the importance of tolerance between people, and that most mental health problems come from setting ourselves absolutist, rigid demands which cause us to be disturbed when they are unfulfilled.

Nothing New
10 Nov 2004
Format:Paperback
If you've read a lot of his other material, then this book provides nothing new. In fact, I would prefer to read his other books, which directly teach you how to impove your thinking.
This is like reading a weaker version of his recent book REBT: it works for me / it could work for you.
