From the Author
My goal in writing the book was to show you in an easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to remember way that you don't have to be stressed, miserable, or pessimistic. It's possible to take control of your life - and your happiness.
Changing negative thoughts and overcoming unhelpful emotions including depression, anger, shame, jealousy, and anxiety isn't easy - but it is possible. A Guide to Shameless Happiness shows you how.

About the author
![Will Ross](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61luSYZ-KYL._SY600_.jpg)
There's nothing I enjoy more than teaching people how to enjoy Shameless Happiness by using the self-help techniques of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Please note that I'm not a therapist. I taught myself how to use REBT. When Albert Ellis created REBT in the 1950's, he created one of the first self-help therapies. Many people can teach themselves REBT as I did, but some people need extra help. That's what I do: I tutor people who want extra help.
Over the years, I've created a number of self-help tools and written a number of articles designed to help people help themselves with REBT. I also work privately, one-on-one, with those who request it, helping them to remain focused and master the techniques and philosophy so that they can overcome their problems, reach their goals, and lead a rewarding and joyous life. I tutor people via email, phone, or over Skype.

Some reframing and definitions are taken straight from REBT others, to the best of my knowledge, originated with the author and still others are a synthesis of the two. There are such gems as a) you don't have to prove yourself to others or self--just pursue happiness (in ways he lists) and b) willpower is best visualized as being a series of actions we take not as a characteristic we have or don't have. I recommend this book because it refocused my mind on the enjoyment of life and gives specific suggestions how to gain more happiness. Above all the book avoids psychological jargon and complicated explanations that are frequently only half true.
Personally I would recommend that the author leave a note on how he can be contacted. The note could be added as a response to this review. Why? Because I believe he can do good coaching via the internet, especially using Skype.
I, the reviewer, am a licensed psychologist practicing Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and use many of the techniques described in the book. I know Mr. Ross by being on an online forum for REBT clients and practitioners. I have been impressed all along with his contributions.
