About this product

Product Information

Dr. William Glasser offers a new psychology that, if practiced, could reverse our widespread inability to get along with one another, an inability that is the source of almost all unhappiness. For progress in human relationships, he explains that we must give up the punishing, relationship-destroying external control psychology. For example, if you are in an unhappy relationship right now, he proposes that one or both of you could be using external control psychology on the other. He goes further. And suggests that misery is always related to a current unsatisfying relationship. Contrary to what you may believe, your troubles are always now, never in the past. No one can change what happened yesterday.

Becoming Conscious
Dr. William Glasser's book on Choice Theory, assigned in the class of the same name, pulled together in the first five chapters concepts that I'd run into over the years in human growth workshops I took over many years; Parent Effectiveness Training, EST, Committment, even Time Management. His take on our basic needs of survival, love and belonging, power, fun and freedom simplifies and condenses Maslow's hierarchy, and aids understanding of ourselves and others. I The basic premise is that relationships are the most important factor in our life, a consequence of the basic need of love & belonging. When relationships are not fulfilling, or troublesome, we feel distress, and wonder what to do. Dr. Glasser teaches that our behavior is our responsibility and we always have a choice. He ... Dr. William Glasser's book on Choice Theory, assigned in the class of the same name, pulled together in the first five chapters concepts that I'd run into over the years in human growth workshops I took over many years; Parent Effectiveness Training, EST, Committment, even Time Management. His take on our basic needs of survival, love and belonging, power, fun and freedom simplifies and condenses Maslow's hierarchy, and aids understanding of ourselves and others. I The basic premise is that relationships are the most important factor in our life, a consequence of the basic need of love & belonging. When relationships are not fulfilling, or troublesome, we feel distress, and wonder what to do. Dr. Glasser teaches that our behavior is our responsibility and we always have a choice. He suggests that the challenge is in the present, and that digging into the past to attribute responsibility to parents, friends, or socioeconomic status is postponing effectiveness. If you want to change your life, change your behavior, and start now. The teaching on the "deadly habits" of criticism, manipulation, nagging, scolding, and blaming are contrasted with the "helping habits," and gets us to look at our behavior that works, and doesn't in fostering healthy relationships. The first five chapters give enough information to make the book worthwhile. As one starts to become aware of the concepts and put them to work, change happens and life becomes more balanced, and you may find increased insight, understanding and tolerance of others, improved relationships, in fact. That is worthwhile! Dr. Glasser discounts the medical model of addiction, which was the most difficult for me. He believes that people become alcoholics and addicts by their choice, and medication is not an answer, just most positive choices. While I realize that the medical model of addiction is political, I believe that addiction is complex, and has bio-chemical,genetic, social, as well as spiritual factor. What is most positive in the Choice Theory approach is the encouragement and empowerment to deal with the present, and make changes now, instead of years of therapy to try to fix the problems by looking at mother, father, society and what went wrong. It's practical, logical, and effective. Therapy can come later, if one CHOOSES.

The Power in Choice
Glasser takes the complexity of life, including what others diagnose as mental illness, and explains in simple terms how we can each become stronger and happier. The ideas of Choice Theory have improved the relationship I have with my two children and has also contributed to my marriage being better. Important ideas are described so that anyone can understand them. This is Glasser's gift -- to write in a way that we all get it.Glasser takes the complexity of life, including what others diagnose as mental illness, and explains in simple terms how we can each become stronger and happier.

made me think
This book changed the way I view my role in a relationship. I also helped me identify some of the mistakes that I had made in the past. I think this is a good read for a person that is single and keeps ending up in unsatisfying relationships. I also think that the book includes tools that can contribute to a healthy marriage. The message that you can only control your own behavior is extremely simple but powerful. It is written in simple terms so you don't have to be a psychology major to understand it.This book changed the way I view my role in a relationship.

Good approach to living by taking responsibility for oneself rather than finding someone else to blame for one's unhappiness.

Fascinating read
Captivating premise. Grounds the thoughts of responsibility and changes the role of the sick person. We all need a “dose of reality”
