The library doesn't own a copy -- because you really should buy your own copy (or download it). This is a book with directions, exercises, useful "try stuff" pages that invite margin notations, doodles, objections, and questions. The authors reframe a lot of dysfunctional beliefs: you won't have one perfect life, rather:" you can have multiple plans and lives with you; we judge our life by the outcome, rather: life is a process, not an outcome. Their chapters, "How not to find a job" and "Designing your dream job" should be required reading for all college seniors --example: dysfunctional belief: I am looking for a job; reframe: I am pursuing a number of offers." Be curious. Try stuff. Reframe your dysfunctional beliefs. Learn that happiness is a process, too. There is no right choice --there is only good choosing. ---Read More
