SOS teaches the steps for managing anxiety, anger, depression, and other unpleasant feelings. Our beliefs and self-talk primarily cause our feelings and behavior, and not bad events and difficult people. With over 100 illustrations, SOS teaches the reality that we ourselves are responsible for managing our feelings, behavior, and happiness.

Most people believe that bad events (a large credit card debt) and unpleasant people directly cause our stress. However, SOS teaches what we believe and tell ourselves about bad events and difficult people primarily determines our emotional distress. When you believe that other people and bad events directly cause your emotions, you fail to make yourself feel better. It is self-defeating to believe that you first must change other people or the world before you can feel better. You can change your self-defeating self-talk and your emotions to become happier.
