RECOMMENDATIONS

Cognitive based therapies have been used the world over for many years to deal with a wide range of psychological afflictions. Sabine Beecher's book uses rational emotive therapy based techniques to help a person step by step.

Happiness - It's Up To You helps people come to terms with all the important aspects of self acceptance, assertion and effective communication.

This book is extremely effective as either a self help guide or to be used by and assist the therapeutic caseworker.

From Fergus Matthews

Evidence that we feel the way we think keeps accumulating. A massive amount of research studies substantiate rational-emotive theory and practice and cognitive-behavior therapy. Sabine Beecher in Happiness - It's Up To You puts it into crystal-clear terms and makes it remarkably available to large numbers of self-help seekers.

Sabine Beecher clearly and loudly beats the drum for self-acceptance and she beautifully outlines what Karen Horney called 'the tyranny of the shoulds'. These and other leading principles she explains and illustrates in an exceptionally lucid and persuasive manner that succinctly clarifies them to anyone who will take the time and effort to study this book.

I enthusiastically recommend her down-to-earth, highly digestible applications.
