Book Reviews of A New Guide to Rational Living
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.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: Exceedingly verbose
Summary: 1 Stars
Summary: A person is not obliged to be, feel, or do anything in particular, and should not expect anyone else to be, feel, or do anything in particular. Most the book is filled with self-aggrandizing, drawn out examples of clinic cases, along with some annoyingly sarcastic rhetoric. The authors style of writing and thinking also show some example of being outdated.
