A Guide to Rational Living. WOW! and that is an understatement. Albert Ellis and Robert Harper both have PH.D.'s. They focus on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.The definition of rational used in REBT is: showing reason; not foolish or silly; sensible; learning to efficient results; producing desired effects with a minimum of expense, waste, unnecessary effort, or unpleasant side effects; helping to achieve the individual and social goals that you strive for.
I have been implementing many of the rational behavioral theories they talk about. For having done so, I feel better about myself and the reality that we all live in. I have found that positive thinking can ease anxiety and frustrations. I hope that after implementing more of their theories and with self motivation I can be happier and healthier both physical and mentally. They word the book it such a way that I do understand their techniques and can use nearly all of them to help improve my rational or irrational thinking. I love the book and plan to read it over and over again. :)
