Some of the reviews of this book highlight the very issue REBT addresses; namely, the incorrect assumption that other people or situations make us unhappy. What he outlines is this book is not new; the concepts have been around at least from the time of the Roman Macus Aurelius. This book does an excellent job of describing how to decide your emotion in many different situations. If we are honest with ourselves, we will come to realize we all choose our emotions on everything!

I recommend this book, but only gave it four stars because it could have been written a bit more concisely.
