Yes, Glasser is the father of reality theory...and this "new" theory was orginally called CONTROL rather than CHOICE. hmmm

Glasser is hedonistic. He operates from the premise, imo, that one's own pleasure is the ultimate goal in life. That humans are motivated by pain and pleasure...only.

Yes, we do have choices, yes there is some element of control in each person's life... but come on. NOW that you are an adult, and able to learn about how your past has affected you, you can decide to change.

"Happiness is a choice." That's a deep subject, imo. I like to use the word "perspective" is a choice... and that does affect happiness.

PS shouldn't this be in psychotherapy forum?
