Posted by Rex Alexander on Tue 21 Mar 23 in Books & Media, Happiness, Mindfulness, REBT & Other therapies compared |

  We have been discussing visualizing, specifically as it relates to “Scary Pictures” in Russ Harris’s wonderful, “Happiness Trap.” The individual says that he prefers ACT to REBT-CBT, but that he has difficulty visualizing and therefore difficulty applying  the techniques in the “Scary Pictures” section of Russ’s book.  17,528 total views,  2 views today Originally posted 2014-04-28 05:04:37.

   It takes courage to be happy in a sad world!  I wrote this yesterday for someone who struggles with depression.  While I reckon no one would ever accuse me of being Little Mary Sunshine, this is a message of hope, albeit expressed in an oblique way.

“Happy For Life” new Will Ross book

Posted by Rex Alexander on Thu 19 Jan 23 in Basics, Books & Media, Uncategorized |

One of my favorite REBT guys, the late Will Ross has talent for simplifying complex REBT concepts in a way that everyone can understand. I really envy that talent. Will’s little book,Happy for Life: Ten Key Strategies is a fine example of what I am describing.    3,547 total views,  2 views today Originally posted 2014-06-05 18:48:43.
