Reading Recommendation #1: Book - How to Stubbornly Refuse to Make Yourself Miserable About Anything by Dr. Albert Ellis
I read Dr. Albert Ellis' book recently -
Here's the review I've written for it on Goodreads:
I strongly recommend this book to all the learners on this site. It's a very comfortable read that you can manage whenever you have a little spare time, and it will really strengthen your understanding of Cognitive therapy, particularly REBT, besides helping you in your personal life. A win-win.

Here's the review I've written for it on Goodreads:
"
Being familiar with REBT principles, this book was an easy
read for me. Nonetheless, I think this book is written with due
consideration for those encountering Ellis' principles for the first
time, since it is written in simple language with elaborate
illustrations.
Ellis, as always, has taken a very assertive approach in presenting his ideas. This is the best part of all his books, that he actually works from the methods he prescribes. He has written this book in the style of an informal discussion that a teacher would have with a group of students, which makes it very appealing. This book chiefly explains why, and more importantly how, a person can avoid placing dogmatic conditions on the self, others and the environment. Another very appealing aspect is that Ellis shares a lot of practical techniques for using his principles, which gives the reader concrete tools for self improvement.
All in all, I definitely recommend this book to anyone seeking to make a complete shift in the perspective that they are presently taking to their life, which I think most of us need to do today.
