Choice Theory: A New Psychology of Personal Freedom
Choice Theory: A New Psychology of Personal Freedom | William M D Glasser
7 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
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.

4/5

I think this theory could really benefit relationships we have with others. Some idea were a little hard to accept but the central concepts are really easy to understand and practice such as what we can control, what we can do to others, and how to make choices. This book is the foundation for most of Dr. Glasser's ideas.

Also, it helped me reach my reading goal! Woot! 🎉

William Glasser is popular in #education and #psychology. I gave it a whirl and was impressed with the kinds of new insights it gave me about #relationships and #empowerment.
