What to expect

Learn how to control your perceptions and emotions, minimise dysfunctional thinking and achieve greater success in life.

We're all dealt certain 'cards' in life, the daily challenges we need to overcome in order to thrive. Tackling the problems and challenges of everyday life begins with our thinking. Our thoughts and behaviours can propel us forward or sabotage our goals and relationships. This practical, eye-opening book draws on the philosophy of the ancient Stoics and the ground-breaking therapy of Dr Albert Ellis to help you achieve your goals.

Is That Your Card? will help you change your mindset for the better, putting you in position to propel yourself to greater success. You will learn simple techniques to right the ship when harmful, negative thoughts take over because it is our beliefs that decide how we look at a situation.

The act of thinking will never be the same as you become more aware of your emotions, gain more confidence and self-esteem, improve your relationships and look at anxiety and anger in a completely different way.

Just remember: don't believe everything you think.
