Watch out for self-inflicted button pushing
I'm learning a lot about how to avoid button pushing by myself and others from this book. So much of it is avoidable if you're aware of what's going on. This is an audio that I'll listen to more than once - so many good points and Aha moments.

Insightful and sound advice.
I enjoyed listening to this a few times. I played chapters 4 and 5 over a few times before they applied the most to me in this season of life that I am in now. The narrator was great and made it easy to follow and listen. I struggle with the application of the 4 steps; they were a little difficult to follow. It would help to read those sections. Overall, this was a good book and a new point of reference for me.

It's a good book.
The narrator is excellent. The book is good but it pretty much goes over what all of Albert Ellis's books do. It's a great book if you don't know anything about REBT but if you do then there's nothing new here.
