Format:Hardcover
This book is a witty and benevolent training manual for those people who wish to learn how not to upset themselves about ANYTHING. Many mistakenly believe that other people, events, situations make them miserable. Three minute therapy shows that people press their own misery buttons, and more important, how to stop. I recommend this book very highly.

For economic reasons, I practice self help whenever I can, so self-help books appeal to me. I have lots of them, but not often do I read a book like Three Minute Therapy which began to help me from the first chapter. Reasonable thinking lies at the heart of this therapy. The simplicity of the author's technique fit right into my busy life in that I did not have to wait weeks or till midway the book to comprehend Dr. Edelstein's technique or start getting obvious results.
I have compulsive shopping and anxiety, family disputes and job tensions. I started using Dr. Edelstein's simple, down to earth, rational therapy and already become aware of positive improvements in my life. I talk to my mother more affectionately now thanks to this book because I learned to accept her and not require she become my ideal. I find my work more enjoyable because of changed expectations and reduced anxiety about having to be perfect. I find play more fun, and started again on creating an office manual, now that I understand it need not be the ultimate, most perfect one. I like the new feelings I am still obtaining from this book.
Socially, I feel less of a need to have absolute approval from friends, and this freedom has given me a great deal of comfort. I say feeling because my new reasonable thinking actually has benefited my emotions. These improvements I am sure came from contact with this Three Minute Therapy book. I would like to recommend it to everyone I know.

As president of the National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and originator of Rational Living Therapy, I am keenly aware of the educational emphasis of cognitive-behavioral therapy. That is why I emphasize the importance of presenting rational philosophy and skills in a manner that is clearly understandable and in a manner by which most people can relate.
Michael Edelstein did a superb job in presenting REBT concepts in his book, "Three Minute Therapy". He describes in non-technical language REBT's rational approach to the common problems people face. I highly recommend it for use in bibliotherapy. Also, I recommend that Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists read it to help them develop a clear, understandable delivery to clients.
Michael Edelstein was awarded the NACBT's "Author of the Year" award in 1998 for his work on "Three Minute Therapy, Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life."
