Controlling People: The Paradoxical Nature of Being Human

by Richard S Marken, Timothy A Carey, Timothy Carey

Book Overview

Based on Perceptual Control Theory (PCT), this entertaining book explores the paradox of why we often lose control by trying to be in control and why our controlling nature makes it difficult to stop this self-defeating behavior. Understanding PCT opens the window to understanding and learning about ourselves as controlling people and equips us to lead more effective and satisfying lives.
