How Can I Turn a Mountain Back into a Molehill? Rational Effectiveness Training for Advanced Students

The enormous success of The Stumbling Blocks of the Mind makes one thing eminently clear: there is a great need for a method to improve the way that we deal with certain work situations that cause stress, frustration and non-productive behaviour. Rational Effectiveness Training (RET) is exactly that kind of method. With 'How Can I Turn a Mountain Back into a Molehill?' IJzermans and Bender have produced a sequel to 'The Stumbling Blocks of the Mind'. They briefly reiterate the main points of RET which makes the book suitable beginners too and goes into the role played by different emotions and the irrational thoughts that are often the consequence thereof. They then cover in greater depth common problems such as procrastination, resistance to change, guilt and insecurity. 'How Can I Turn a Mountain Back into a Molehill?' contains a large number of easily recognisable examples and is written in an easily readable style.
