Attitude Is All You Need! and E-Reader Information
Description: Attitude Is All You Need! Second Edition
"He is an independent thinker and I would advise you to read some of his books, particularly Attitude Is All You Need! It will help you control your anxiety and overcome other emotional problems"—Albert Ellis, Ph.D. The founder of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Albert Ellis, was voted the second-most influential psychologist of all time by the American Psychological Association (APA). Dr. Ellis devoted a chapter to Attitude Is All You Need! in his book How to Control Your Anxiety Before It Controls You.
This book was originally published in 1997. At that time it was used for a training seminar for counselors and therapists. Some of the formatting and brevity of the original was the result of being designed around the use of presentation overheads. This 2011 version is a revised, updated, and expanded version of the original. The book sometimes addresses and talks to therapists and counselors, and at other times talks to the general public or potential clients. Please excuse this duality of audiences due to the origins of the work. To be concise, the book is about Attitude Power (AP). From reading it, you will discover how to increase your Attitude Power, and how to decrease your attitude weaknesses and deficiencies.
Many rules for managing your attitude are taught. You learned a lot of rules in school for science and math. If you have a trade or profession, then you learned a lot of rules to be in that trade or profession. You may have learned rules in many areas such as: consulting, design, documentation, efficiency, ethics, handling, legal, materials, methods, processing, record keeping, safety, skill, tools, and various special procedures. Are you willing to learn rules for your sanity? Are you willing to learn rules for the management of your attitudes? Don't you think the time and energy spent on improving your mental health is worth the benefits to your relationships and career?
Your methods of coping with stress can be used to understand some of the features and benefits of the book. You can obtain these benefits by practicing the Attitude Power teachings. FEATURE #1: Attitude Power helps you to become more aware of your attitudes and the effects your attitudes have on you, your competence, relationships, and stress. BENEFIT #1: Your awareness of your attitudes allows you to switch from ineffective or damaging attitudes to effective or helpful attitudes. Attitude Power can be used to lower your stress by helping you to choose a less stressful attitude. FEATURE #2: Attitude Power helps you to become responsible for your attitudes and stress. Responsibility regains control lost to victimhood. BENEFIT #2: Your responsibility for your attitudes allows you to regain your personal power and to take charge of your attitudes. When you are feeling stress, you are more likely to look for internal methods of dealing with the stress than to blame uncontrollable external sources; hence, you are better able to lower your stress. FEATURE #3: Attitude Power helps you to choose the most effective attitude for the situation. You learn also to choose to choose again after testing the results of your attitude choices. BENEFIT #3: You can cope more effectively because your attitude not only does not get in the way of your coping—your attitude helps you deal effectively with the situation. Your stress is lower as you are more effective. You achieve more of what you want to achieve by choosing the attitude that will help you the most. FEATURE #4: Attitude Power teaches the practice of acceptance when you cannot change things for the better. Acceptance overcomes stress. BENEFIT #4: You are free of bad stress. You do not let bad stress get worked out on your body, which leads to medical problems. You allow good stress to get things done. You switch from bad stress to prevent apathy, burnout, conflicts, cynicism, disease, fights, and illness.

FORMAT CONVERSION
You can covert ebook formats with Calibre. For example, you can convert ePub books to the Kindle format and vice versa. But this only works if the book is not copy-protected (DRM is the copy protection standard).
Calibre's interface is clunky, amateurish, and designed for programmers. It has bugs. There is no easy way for non-programmers to report bugs. But there are not a lot of other options at this time, and some features are nice to have.
