ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on how you can rid yourself of emotional problems and win success and happiness by using the powerful artillery of rational thinking, the greatest human weapon against unhappiness. While the power of rational thinking has only recently been scientifically demonstrated, it has been advocated for over twenty centuries. Success and happiness are won, and they can be won by everyone regardless of what life sends their way if they use rational thinking. A pearl begins as an irritating grain of sand and develops into a gem. Pearls are obstacles that become opportunities. Rational thinking explains why some of your friends who appear to have everything in life are still unhappy and why other people who experience many stressful events in life choose happiness. It explains why a financially well-to-do person may commit suicide and an impoverished person may be the one who gives your spirits a lift. It’s all in your beliefs or your view.
