RATIONALITY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESSThis book is a labor of love! Michael Bernard has painstakingly transcribed a number of Albert Elliss therapy and demonstration sessions as well as a selection of his lectures and has used this material to excellent effect to make Dr Elliss views on psychological health and happiness come alive. A gem of a book on a gem of a man by a gem of an author.Professor Windy Dryden, Goldsmiths, University of London, UKMichael Bernards book reveals the importance of rationality as a positive faculty of mind that enables people to strengthen their resilience and selfefficacy in order to not only cope with the inevitable challenges, demands and changes characteristic of our postmodern age but, in addition, through the application of different principles of rational living identified by legendary psychologist Albert Ellis, to live fulfilled and meaningful professional and personal lives. I confidently commend this book.Professor Field Rickards, Dean, Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne, AustraliaAlbert Ellis, one of the worlds most influential psychologists, founded Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) in the 1950s. Over the years, this pioneering form of cognitive behavior therapy has advanced the emotional wellbeing of hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Yet while Elliss innovative approaches for helping people with emotional difficulties are well known, his views on the pursuit of personal happiness which have also influenced generations of people both with and without such problems are far more elusive. Elliss powerful arguments in favor of the rational pursuit of happiness are set out for the very first time in this book.Rationality and the Pursuit of Happiness presents Elliss views on how the principles of rational living can be used by anyone to achieve lifelong happiness. Transcripts of private counseling sessions and public forums reveal the great power of rationality and the selfdefeating nature of irrationality. Drawing on 50 years of Elliss writing, Michael Bernard shows how the emotional misery that arises from irrational thinking of the human psyche can obstruct our innate potential for selfactualization and happiness. In doing so, he firmly establishes Ellis as a pioneer of positive psychology and a human being whose superior intellect and years of public education and psychotherapy experience offer genuine insights into the eternal question of what makes for a happy life.
