Ellis jokingly says on page 281 that REBT can relieve the sufferings of the damned in hell by teaching them that damnation is not “dreadful,” but merely “inconvenient.” This kind of remark shows the range of applications of his fundamental psychotherapeutic thoughts, which he repeats over and over again in this collection of semi-scholarly papers.
Even as the repitition may be part of Ellis’s didactic strategy, it does get tedious to read after awhile. You can get a better thought of Ellis’s key teachings in his _Albert Ellis Reader_, published a few years ago and still in print.
I find Ellis’s new infatuation with postmodernism in this book puzzling, but. If one’s reality is subjectively or socially constructed, by what criteria can you choose that some thoughts are “irrational”? And why is emotional upset considered undesirable without some objective standard of comparison?

Albert Ellis wrote a goldmine of a book to help people and therapists heal those who are in pain with destructive beliefs, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, marriage and family, covetousness, OCD, and many other difficulties that CAN be healed. It requires commitment and dedication on the part of the individual to want to heal.
One of the key points in this book is that our unhappiness stems from irrational beliefs, “must”, “should” and how vital it is to “make a vital meaning and absorbing interest in your life…”
This book will be outstanding for anyone committed to his or her own self growth, healing, with the strong desire to turn it all nearly.
Highly not compulsory!
