Publisher's Summary

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.

I could not listen to the book becaue of the tone

I have been listening to books for a very long time and this is the first time I could not finish a book because of the narration. I could not focus on the content because of the tone, intonation, and performing habits of the narrator. I wish this book was read by someone whose voice was more listenable for me.
