Publisher's Synopsis
Ellis, the 'grandfather of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy', provides readers with specific, realistic ways to keep people and events from getting to them - now everyone can learn how to react more effectively to antagonistic people and behaviour. Readers can also alter their own behaviour by analysing the irrational beliefs that people use to let others needlessly push their buttons, such as worrying too much about what people think of them or trying too hard to please everyone. With easy-to-follow instructions this is a classic in the field of stress management.
