Great thread, Dusty - looking forward to more.
As an aside, you've got a great way of paraphrasing a book's concepts clearly without going overboard. Is this is a skill you've intentionally developed?
Thanks for the feedback BB!
Now that you mention it, I think you are describing my learning style. When I am learning something, I try to tie it back to things I already know well and intuitively, through analogy or what not. I do that in the work environment too. I guess when I teach others, I do the same thing.
Incidentally, I'm writing a book on approach anxiety, which is applied REBT. Whereas A Guide to Rational Living is very theory, my book is more of a workbook. With a "program" and "worksheets" and a "plan" and "homework." I think you need both theory and an applied plan, so I recommend in my book that people ready A Guide to Rational Living concurrently.
Sounds interesting, and I'm sure it'll be a good read. Are you going to release it on Amazon? Or sell it on a website?

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
