Self-help · HopefulWayne Dyer's 1976 book on feelings, habits, self-worth, guilt and living in the present moment
Your Erroneous Zones
Fourteen years of ideas about choosing your own reactions
Funk & Wagnalls first issued Wayne W. Dyer's book in April 1976. Its chapters cover the brevity of life, feelings as reactions a person chooses to have, habits that change through patience and persistence, self-worth and self-love, approval seeking and its cultural sources, guilt and worry, and security, fear of failure and openness to new experiences. Living in the present moment is a theme throughout. Albert Ellis said the book was derived from his Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and later called it a good book.
