Book Reviews of A New Guide to Rational Living
Book Review: Superb book for anyone trying to help themselves
Summary: 5 Stars
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy is perhaps the most effecient psychotherapy. This is a self-help book detailing the workings of REBT, and how to apply it to life. It isn't one of those psycho-babble books on how to feel happy in three days. This book helps you focus on what you're doing to upset and disturb yourself, and what you can do about it. This edition is a bit dated, but the new edition (titled A Guide to Rational Living, 1997) updates the excellent work by Ellis and Harper. I heartily recommend it to my clients, who frequently tote it around with them for a workbook.Book Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, I found this book a bit tough to read because I am not familiar with some of the psychological stuff and a few terms mentioned in this book.
It takes alot of work, investment, practice, patiences, and time to see results. Mistakes as well, because sometimes I thought I had it, but I was wrong. Though I am amazed by the results. I used to have anxiety everyday, and now I rarely deal with it, and when I do, I don't even worry about it anymore because I know how to approach it. This is the last self-help book Ill ever need.
Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never posted a review on this site before despite buying hundreds of books. I purchased this book about two months ago because of severe anxiety issues. I have recieved immediate benefits from it. The concept of awfulizing has truly changed my outlook on my entire thought process. While I know I have a long road to follow I believe this book has put me on the right track. I would highly recommend giving this book a try if you are dealing with depression or anxiety. Best of luck.Book Review: This book saved my life.
Summary: 5 Stars
As a survivor of abuse, disease and depression. I found this book to one of the few tools I could rely on to lift my spirits and help me change the way I look at my life. Although not as flashy and trendy as some of the books on the market today, Dr Ellis clearly seperates fact from fiction when it comes to our rational thinking nad irrational habits. I urge all to use this book as a daily tool throughout your own journey. It saved my life.Book Review: Book well worth the cost ... and more
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the most helpful book in its genre. Even though is was written some time ago, the book's contents remain relevant and helpful. I can think of no other book that can help a person think straighter even after just one reading. The step-by-step approach Drs. Ellis and Harper use in conveying their RET is the most impressive part of this book. If there is one self-help book you should read - and keep on re-reading - this is it.
