| I think this has merit, but does not work in all situations. For example, I have found a way to make a living that I truely enjoy doing. This makes me happy. I don't see how you can say it isn't the situation that causes my emotional reaction. If I hated my job and dreaded going to work every day, I don't think I could really improve it long term by working on my attitude towards it. When my son was killed on his 18th birthday that made me very sad. It wasn't my attitude towards the event. The loss directly triggers a very intense reaction.
I think that to a large degree this is a lot of bs.
