Statistics For The Terrified (4th Edition)

Men are disturbed not by things, but by the views which they take of them. -Epictetus Do you often feel stuck up to your axle in problems? Do you feel anxious, depressed, guilty, or angry much of the time? Perhaps you can benefit from reading this book. Materials in this book were drawn from the theory and practice of rational-emotive therapy (RET). RET teaches that feelings of anger, depressions, guilt, and anxiety are caused directly by crooked thinking, and that you can learn to live a non self-defeating life if you re-educate yourself emotionally. If you learn how to challenge and contradict your irrational beliefs, and adopt a more rational philosophy instead, then you can change how you feel.
