Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Ellis, founder of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and the author of over 50 books, and Velten, a psychotherapist in private practice who teaches at the University of California, San Francisco, do not deny that there are real challenges to aging. Regrets about the past, fears of declining health, loss of loved ones, financial concerns, and retirement options are all problems that cause unhappiness as we age. The authors argue, however, that such attitudes are not based on reality but result from fear of what aging might be. Using personal anecdotes and other examples, many humorous, they illustrate how patients have applied the authors' realistic ideas to change behaviors, set new goals, and enjoy life as they grow older. Recommended for popular self-help collections.?Jodith Janes, Cleveland Clinic Fdn.

Renowned psychologist Albert Ellis and co-author Emmett Velten challenge the orthodoxies of aging. Ellis' smart, contrarian thinking will inspire many.
