Book Reviews of A New Guide to Rational Living
Book Review: General Semantics
Summary: 5 Stars
I havn't read a book this good sense Wendell Johnson "People in Quandaries". In general semantics they teach you the dangers in the word "Is" when people mistake their Maps for being the Territories.
Ellis and his REBT has took it to a whole new level when he show you more dangers in the words "Should", "Must" and "Ought" when people do the impossible assume they have god-like powers and try to make the Territories into their Maps.
Book Review: excellent text
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one of the most brilliant books ever written on psychology and self help. It is a classic. The authors show that many psychological problems are caused by irrational thinking. They then give excercises that you do to correct your thinking. Along with a lot of hard work, this book and the exercises in them can work profound and lasting changes on a persons mode of thinking and acting.Book Review: Live a Happier Life
Summary: 5 Stars
Are anxious thoughts weighing you down? Do you wish you could be happier despite your stressful circumstances? Some people, it seems, can more intuitively manage to stay relaxed amidst all of life's stressors. But if you are not one of those people, this book has the tools to help you swat away those anxious thoughts.Book Review: Relationship Saver
Summary: 5 Stars
This book saved my relationship! I learned so much about myself and all the "musts" I place on the relationship. By changing some of my drilled-in attitudes, I also found that I have a much easier time really listening to my fiance and trying to understand instead of jumping to conclusions.Book Review: A Work of Fiction?
Summary: 5 Stars
No, this is not a work of fiction. It is a very sound guide and I regret loaning it out because it was never returned. Self help books are only as good as a person's ability to hold a mirror up to themselves. If you can do that, and you feel you need a little guide, this is the book for you!!
