Synopsis

“No individual—not even Freud himself—has had a greater impact on modern psychotherapy.”—Psychology TodayCLASSIC SELF-HELP FROM A RESPECTED PIONEER OF PSYCHOTHERAPYFrom social anxiety to phobias to post-traumatic stress disorder, sources of anxiety in daily life are numerous, and can have a powerful impact on your future. By following the rules of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), created by world renowned therapist Dr. Albert Ellis, you can stop anxiety in its tracks if you will admit this important fact: Things and people do not make you anxious. You do. Your unrealistic expectations produce your needless anxiety. Yet not all anxiety is needless.…Healthy anxiety can ward off dangers and make you aware of negative things that you can change. Unhealthy anxiety inhibits you from enjoying everyday activities and relationships, causes you to perform poorly, and blocks your creativity. Using the easy-to-master, proven precepts of REBT, this classic book not only helps you distinguish between healthy and unhealthy anxiety, but teaches you how to:• Understand and dispute the irrational beliefs that make you anxious
• Use a variety of exercises, including rational coping self-statements, reframing, problem-solving methods, and Unconditional Self-Acceptance (USA), to control your anxiety
• Apply over 200 maxims to control your anxious thinking as well as your bodily reactions to anxiety…and much more, including examples from dozens of cases Dr. Ellis treated successfully. Now you can overcome the crippling effects of anxiety—and increase your prospects for success, pleasure, and happiness at home and in the workplace.

Goodreads review by Daniel

This book is a very useful how-to for people who suffers general anxiety disorder and light depression because of it, to be more precise it is a "lifting" book for those thinking the world is going to end very soon, or NOW.

Goodreads review by Bry

I love Albert Ellis and his pragmatic, albeit removed, approach to recovery. Ellis may not possess the warmth of Carl Rogers, but his advice is practical, uncomplicated, and has the potential to be very effective. The humourous tone is refreshing, but may not be helpful for people who are in a parti......more

Goodreads review by Abraham

Anyone struggling with social anxiety should definitely try Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My understanding is that the author of this book created another, similar system called Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). This book will give you some insight into how and why he created it, and h......more
