About this title

Synopsis

So much that goes wrong in the lives of individuals, families, schools and society is caused by people generating more emotion than is necessary or helpful in response to their life events, and what they do because of it, or to deal with it. That is why emotional management is the most important life skill. Many self-help books give wonderful advice and information and even teach helpful skills. However, someone has to be in the right cognitive and emotional place to access and act on that advice, and to perform such skills. Most self-help books neglect to teach people how to get there. This book teaches truly effective emotional management by teaching people how to develop an internal locus of control, to recognize and correct irrational thinking, and to have unconditional self and other acceptance. It also teaches a step-by-step approach that can be taken to any troublesome life situations.
