I Don'T Like You

This is a book about the relationship between how we think and how we feel. Based on the old Stoic premise that men are not disturbed by things but by the views they take of things, this book focuses on several of the more common false beliefs (views) that lead to emotional anguish of one kind or another unnecessarily. For example, if you think there is something wrong with asparagus because I dont happen to like it, you may also believe something is wrong with you if I dont happen to like you. And you will feel lousy about yourself. There follows a set of guidelines for uncovering errant ideas and faulty thinking and how to get rid of the unhappiness they cause. In short, this is a book about the benefits of rational thinking.
