 How to be Miserable after a book purchase. ( saintgeorge )
I purchased this book on the strength of the reputation of its author, Albert Ellis. This was a mistake as Mr. Ellis apparently dashed this off on his way out the door. I suppose when one has written many books, particularly on one subject, re-iteration eventually becomes one giant summary-which this book is. This is a throw away. Both for the author and the reader. I'm looking at it now on my bookshelf, lamenting the waste of money and time. Mr. Ellis probably regrets the time but not the money. If you are seeking an alternate view of reality, and who isn't, check out David Burns, "Feeling Good". Much more substantive and not a gloss over.

change your mind and change your life ( ncbrn )
I love almost anything by Albert Ellis. He uses rational thought processing. This book helps you see glitches in your own thoughts and ideas that set you up for feeling bad. Read this book if you want to see where you can improve on your legalistic thought processes.

Great book ( moment_29 )
Great insight into the problem of suffering. Ellis gives several methods to overcome negative emotions. However if you read other books of Ellis, there is nothing new although his uses difference clinical examples.He seems to focus on 'Tyranny of Should's' (borrowed from Karen Horney) a lot and feels it as core of neurosis.
Today CBT is developed mainly expanding Ellis ideas (Thanks to David burns). Burns himself acknowledges him with great respect. If only Ellis was not little eccentric in potraying the pot of gold inside him, he would have been probably received differently. Neverthless, that is his style with noble intention to help people instead of rely on religion alone.
Ellis truly is great Humanist ..Buddha of 21st century !
