Synopsis
Whatever life throws at you, learn to deal with it in a healthier and more rational way.
When it comes to destructive emotions and unhelpful behaviours, you are your own worst enemy. All too often it’s your own unhelpful beliefs and thought habits that hold you back and f*** everything up, not other people or situations. Leading REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy) psychotherapist Daniel Fryer can help you stop the thoughts you have from messing up your life with a simple but effective model.
In The Four Thoughts that F*** You Up … And How to Stop Them Daniel reveals the four unhealthy thought habits that hold you back (Demands, Dramas, I Can’t Copes and Put-Downs) and shows you how to replace them with four healthy thought habits (Preferences, Perspectives, I Can Copes, Unconditional Acceptance) – in as little as six weeks.
Developed in the mid-fifties by psychotherapist Albert Ellis, REBT is a lesser-known form of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). It's a highly effective form of psychotherapy and an excellent philosophy for living a more productive life. Using REBT, Daniel will help you identify a specific personal challenge and then reframe how you think about yourself and how you react in a calmer, happier and more successful way. This approach is especially helpful if you struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, frustration, anger or self-doubt, or if you want to improve your relationships with family, colleagues and peers or, simply, yourself.
When you free your mind, you can stop f***ing up all the time and be the person you want to be. Want to get started?
