I think it is a superficial statement, and not practical. Unless we are all robots without feelings, there will be unhappiness, stress and jealousy, among other emotions. When someone we love suffers, we hurt and therefore have unhappiness. "There is nothing to hold your negative feelings in place other than your own thinking." = stupid. Just a bunch of psycho babble.

I have to agree. Now, learning to let go of negative thinking, not allowing it to take over is something we can work on, but completely stopping the initial negative, sad, angry or jealous thought probably isn't going to happen. It is turning that initial thought over to something more positive that seems to make more sense.
