''Attitude Reconstruction: A Blueprint for Building a Better Life'' proposes that unexpressed sadness, anger, and fear are the root causes of all negative attitudes and perceived problems. The author, daughter of pioneer behavioral child psychologist Sidney W. Bijou, blends eastern philosophy with western innovation to create a holistic system of human behavior, and systematically outlines steps to change old pattern, transform destructive attitudes, and create a meaningful life. The book and its central approach is the foundation of Bijou's workshops, communications courses, speaking engagements, videos, and trainings. ==Synopsis== Bijou asserts that humans have only six emotions, existing in three opposing pairs – sadness and joy, anger and love, fear and peace. ''Attitude Reconstruction'' correlates these six emotions with predictable feelings, thoughts, communication, and actions. The author proposes that emotions are nothing but energy, or pure physical sensations in the body; when we don't release sadness, anger, and fear from hurts and losses, we revert to predictable destructive attitudes. When not in the grip of these three emotions, the author states our attitudes embody the other three emotions—joy, love, and peace. Bijou's central methodology incorporates physically and constructively releasing emotional energy from the body through crying, stomping, or shivering in order to restore calm and clarity. ''Attitude Reconstruction'' includes a (Blueprint ) of the mind created by Bijou, who says there are four universal attitudes that accompany each emotion. She found the core attitudes associated with the emotions of joy, love, and peace boil down to three ultimate attitudes – honor yourself, accept other people and situations, and stay present and specific. ''Attitude Reconstruction'' also offers worksheets and quick charts to changing challenging behaviors, as well as detailed steps for effectively communicating with others on any topic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Attitude Reconstruction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
