I Can If I Want To by Arnold Lazarus

Rate this book
The classic book of therapy, "one of the best self-help books ever written" (Albert Ellis, Ph.D.), available for the first time in trade paperback. Based on the two significant assumptions that assertiveness is crucial in interpersonal relationships and that we are not victims of circumstance, but that the locus of control is in ourselves, this work shows how to change your thinking and your behavior.

A VERY brief look at 20 different faulty thoughts and beliefs we can have, and how to change your thinking and behavior. As a therapist, I think this is a decent intro to therapy, or a useful tool while you’re in therapy, but definitely not a replacement for it.
