Features: What is the value of a book on emotional well-being? Too many people hold preconceived notions that emotional issues require months, or even years, of in-depth therapy to show results. Freud sitting on one end of the couch, listening as his patient recounted their dark past, is an image deeply ingrained in our minds. We have all, and will continue to be, troubled by negative emotions—depression, anxiety, worry, excessive self-discipline, shyness, shame, guilt. At times, you may feel that life has lost meaning, and the world appears gray or even black to you. No hope? No solution? There is. The Emotional Well-being Guide can easily solve your problems. Through Rational-Emotive Therapy, the book presents the A (Activating Event) – B (Belief System) – C (Emotional Consequence) model to provide a deep analysis of your emotional issues. It not only tells you how to be happy but also explains why disturbances occur, helping you remove the root causes of these disturbances at their source. The author narrates stories of individuals who have overcome negative emotions through Rational-Emotive Therapy (RET), describing the scenarios, inner feelings, and outward behaviors to reveal the process of emotional issues and how to root out negative emotions like depression, sadness, self-suppression, hostility, and anger, enabling a more positive approach to life. It is written for the general public, addressing the most common emotional issues—it is written for me, for you.
