Format:Paperback
The is a brilliant book. It section covers extensively--- anaiety & worry, depression, guilt, anger and hostility, love problems, shame and embarassment, self decipline and finally staying emotionally heathy. It continually talks about RET (Rational Emotive Theory) which is basically involves chalenging your irrational throughts with more sensible & realistic rational throughts. EG with depression your chalenge your self pity or self negative thoughts with more realistic and contractive thought. A brilliant read as it helps you to look at the way you think about things and to replace it with a better way ot thinking. I would also recommend "How to be your own Best Friend" by Paul Hauck.

Format:Paperback
As a rational-emotive therapist, working in the National Health Service, I often have to give my clients an introduction to the overall philosophy. I have taken to recommending this book, as it is clear, wide-ranging and inexpensive. The first chapter gives the basic ideas, then there are seven chapters on particular emotional problems - anger and hostility, depression, guilt, anxiety and worry and so on. Clients can thus read just the parts that apply to them - which is very useful! The summaries at the end of each chapter are another useful feature.
My main reservation is that, while some readers are swept away and love the style, others are turned off by it, finding it too repetitive, or dense, or technical. Nevertheless, I give this four stars for being the best book for the purpose. If you want to recommend this to your clients (or get it for yourself!) you can always supplement it with a more detailed treatment of the area of interest - once again, look for the names of Windy Dryden or Paul Hauck and you won't go far wrong.

Think Your Way to Happiness (Overcoming common problems)
This is an excellent self-help book for people with a whole range of emotional problems, written in a very down-to-earth style. It is a text which is easy to refer to again and again so that the philosophy of REBT can be practised and learned as a means of coping throughout one's lifetime.

DON'T READ THIS IF YOU ARE DEPRESSED!
This book is honestly a huge load of claptrap. I usually recycle books but I threw this ceremoniously in the dustbin! Read more
