The Easy Way Out Is

Whining About Your Own, Others', Or The World's Failings Is A Main Element In What We Usually Call Neurosis.

I Started To Call Myself A Rational Therapist In 1955; Later I Used The Term Rational Emotive. Now I Call Myself A Rational Emotive Behavior Therapist.

For That Again, Is What All Manner Of Religion Essentially Is: Childish Dependency. If Something Is Irrational, That Means It Won't Work. It's Usually Unrealistic. People Don't Just Get Upset. They Contribute To Their Upsetness. People Have Motives And Thoughts Of Which They Are Unaware. Rational Beliefs Bring Us Closer To Getting Good Results In The Real World. Self-esteem Is The Greatest Sickness Known To Man Or Woman Because It's Conditional. The Art Of Love Is Largely The Art Of Persistence.

Happiness Is Experienced Largely In Striving Towards A Goal, Not In Having Attained Things, Because Our Nature Is Always To Want To Go On To The Next Endeavor.

Even When People Act Nastily To You, Don't Condemn Them Or Retaliate.
