Choice Theory

Basically, choice theory helps its users avoid confrontation and ask pertinent questions. It sees conscious or unconscious desire for external control as the main problem in the four major personal relationships: husband-wife, parent-child, teacher-student, and manager-worker. This book presents this theory.

Description

Dr. William Glasser offers a new psychology that, if practised, 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 to suggest that misery is always related to a currently unsatisfying relationship. Contrary to what you may believe, your troubles are always now, never in the past. No one can change what happened yesterday.

Choice Theory is a thought-provoking exploration of how improving our personal relations can lead to greater happiness. Dr. Glasser's insights provide a path away from blame and towards a more positive, fulfilling life.
