All of us worry about something, big or small, every day. But much of the emotional misery we feel is an overreaction, and it can be significantly reduced, using the techniques you'll find in this landmark book.

World-renowned therapist Dr. Albert Ellis, who created Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), believed that anger, anxiety, and depression are not only unnecessary but unethical, because when we allow ourselves to become emotionally upset, we're being unfair and unjust to ourselves. Thinking negative thoughts is a choice we can refuse to make. Applying the proven, time-tested principles of REBT is a simple, logical way to find true mental health and happiness.

REBT acknowledges the power of emotions but also helps us understand which feelings are healthy and which are not. This classic book teaches you how to:

* Retrain your brain to focus on the positive aspects of your life and face each obstacle without unnecessary despair.
* Control your emotional destiny.
* Refuse to upset yourself about upsetting yourself.
* Solve practical problems as well as emotional problems.
* Conquer the tyranny of shoulds...and much more, providing all the tools you need to take back your life-and your happiness. If you can refuse to make yourself miserable, you're that much closer to making yourself happy-every day.
