Kno One: A Negative Evaluation - People Aren't Their Behavior
[ DISCLAIMER ] There was a time when I set out to write blog content regarding the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) book Creative Marriage (1961). However, I admittedly haven’t contributed many posts to it in a while, and perhaps won’t do so again (current post excluded).

Young Blood
[ DISCLAIMER ] If you visited a local shopping mall, trendy nightclub, or hipster dive bar toward the end of 2010, I imagine that you heard “ Young Blood ” by New Zealand indie electronic band The Naked and Famous from their album Passive Me, Aggressive You (2010). “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah”!
