Synopsis:

The following medical fact has been known for thousands of years. "Normal people" can easily make themselves feel as happy as they want to feel any time they choose to so so. That fact was first stated this way in Proverbs 15:23: "People have joy from the answers of their mouths". Then again in Proverbs 23:17: "As people sincerely believe, so will they emeotionally feel". But, as it warns you in Galatians 6:3: "If you believe something that is not a fact, you deceive yourself". That is why this book gives you a fast, easy way to follow this ancient advice first given in Thessalonians 5:21: "Prove all things to yourself and hold fast to that which is good". Those are four of the oldest, yet best medically proven and instantly helpful laws of emotional self-help.

This guide gives you exciting, real case examples that reveal how easily and quickly you can use those laws of normal human nature to Help Yourself to as much Happiness as you are willing to have, at any time, in any situation of your life.

About the Author: Dr. Maxie C. Maultsby Jr. is a most unusual psychiatrist; he is a normal people psychiatrist. That means he is a fully trained, board certified psychiatrist, but by choice he works mainly with normal but excessively unhappy or unsuccessful people. Yet, because they are normal, i.e. possess brains that are free of significant malfunctions, Dr. Maultsby's patients and readers of his books want and are mentally capable of achieving as much personal success, plus emotional and spiritual satisfaction, for which they are willing to work.

Normal people's psychiatrists practice the Cognitive-Behavioral psychotherapy and counseling. Dr. Maultsby has had 30 plus years of clinical experience in professional training, research and clinical practice using this treatment method. He completed training in both child and adult psychiatry. He now is a Medical College Professor at Howard University and the author of the only comprehensive, short-term Cognitive-Behavioral psychotherapy and counseling method, called Rational Behavior Therapy, which produces long-term results. Rational Behavior Therapy, Dr. Maultsby's book by the same name, clearly demonstrates this now well established medical fact: "Much, if not most, anxiety and the other negative human emotions in normal people are unsuspectedly and therefore naively created by those entirely sane, intelligent people themselves".

His well know research and effective training and treatment methods have made Dr. Maultsby an internationally recognized expert on scientific, yet practical concepts and techniques of healthy human conflict resolution. His self-help books are used by mental health professionals in every area of personal and inter personal conflict resolutions as well as for corporate management development and change management. Larry Wilson's popular best seller: Play to Win, is admittedly based in large part on Dr. Maultsby's work on the scientific principles and habits of normal people. Dr. Maultsby is truly the
