The World Consists Mainly Of

People Don't Just Get Upset. They Contribute To Their Upsetness. They Always Have The Power To Think, And To Think About Their Thinking, And To Think About Thinking About Their Thinking, Which The Goddamn Dolphin, As Far As We Know, Can't Do. Therefore They Have Much Greater Ability To Change Themselves Than Any Other Animal Has, And I Hope That Rebt Teaches Them How To Do It.

I Don't Recommend That People Speak Their Minds To Their Bosses Or To Somebody Who's Directly Over Them. You Need To Know When To Speak Your Mind And What The Penalty Will Be For Doing So. Sometimes It's Worth It, And Often It's Not!

We Teach People That They Upset Themselves. We Can't Change The Past, So We Change How People Are Thinking, Feeling And Behaving Today.

Reality Is Not So Much What Happens To Us; Rather, It Is How We Think About Those Events That Create The Reality We Experience. In A Very Real Sense, This Means That We Each Create The Reality In Which We Live.

When I Started To Get Disillusioned With Psychoanalysis I Reread Philosophy And Was Reminded Of The Constructivist Notion That Epictetus Had Proposed 2,000 Years Ago: "people Are Disturbed Not By Events That Happen To Them, But By Their View Of Them." I Could See How That Applied To Many Of My Clients.
