Strong Feelings Are Fine; It's The Overreactions

When People Change Their Irrational Beliefs To Undogmatic Flexible Preferences, They Become Less Disturbed.

The Goal...is Not To Change Your Desires And Wishes But To Persuade You To Stop Demanding That You Absolutely Must Have What You Wish-from Yourself, From Others, And From The World.

People Could Rationally Decide That Prolonged Relationships Take Up Too Much Time And Effort And That They'd Much Rather Do Other Kinds Of Things. But Most People Are Afraid Of Rejection.
