Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Albert Ellis

- People don’t just get upset. They contribute to their upsetness. They always have the power to think, and to think about their thinking, and to think about thinking about their thinking, which the goddamn dolphin, as far as we know, can’t do. Therefore they have much greater ability to change themselves than any other animal has.

Albert Ellis (1913–2007) was an influential American psychologist and psychotherapist, best known for developing Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Ellis faced personal challenges and developed an interest in psychology as a means of understanding human behavior.
Ellis earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Columbia University and went on to challenge prevailing psychoanalytic theories by proposing that thoughts, rather than unconscious forces, significantly influenced emotions and behavior. In 1955, he founded the Institute for Rational Living, later renamed the Albert Ellis Institute, to promote his therapeutic approach.
REBT, Ellis’s groundbreaking cognitive-behavioral therapy, emphasized the role of irrational beliefs in causing emotional distress. His ABC model (activating events, beliefs, and consequences) became a foundational concept in cognitive therapy. Ellis authored numerous books, including “A Guide to Rational Living,” and conducted workshops worldwide.
Albert Ellis was a provocative figure, known for his direct and confrontational therapeutic style. He received various honors for his contributions to psychology and psychotherapy, leaving a lasting legacy in the field of cognitive-behavioral therapy. His work continues to influence contemporary psychotherapeutic approaches, helping individuals challenge and change their irrational beliefs to achieve emotional well-being.
