13 Irrational Beliefs p.41-43 Transforming The Mind
1. It is essential that the person be loved or approved by everyone he or she knows.
This is irrational because it is an unobtainable goal, and if the person strives for
it, the person becomes less self-directed and more insecure and unhappy. Even
those who basically like you, will be turned off by some behaviors and qualities.
The rational person does not sacrifice his or her own interests and desires in
order to be admired, but rather strives to express them, with outflowing
creativity.

“Don’t expect to be loved or approved by everyone you know.”
