Lifting the Fog of Life

Can you imagine anything more frightening than driving a car at high speed on a winding mountain road and in a fog? Your heart pounds as you search for the curves that could bring your trip to a tragic and premature end? Whether groups have only one other person in a loving relationship or thousands of followers in the world's most complex business, leaders steer groups to accomplish a purposeful task. Despite the predictable pattern of these journeys, they all too often stop before the task is accomplished, creating a premature and unhappy ending. As one of the few people in the world to have completed formal training in education, adult psychiatry, child psychiatry and pediatrics, Sheldon D. Glass M.Ed. M.D., offers a solution for leaders of any age. He promises Life-Control will enable you to live your life without constant anxiety, by showing you how to assert leadership in any situation. Human interaction follows a universally recognized pattern of beginning - middle - end. The content of that interaction is made up of thousands of details. The details blind us as danger approaches or prevent proper action once we are in the danger zone. Content, the details of life, explains why good beginnings turn into unhappy endings. The content is the fog of life. Dr. Glass' theory exposes the flaw in the universally accepted pattern. A fourth phase, "Resistance - Testing", is missing. Resistance - Testing explains the unexpected curves of life. Understanding Resistance - Testing gives you night vision goggles to penetrate the fog. With new clarity, you see the dangers before they approach and the best ways through them. The book begins with a clear and easy to read explanation of the revised four-phase theory. It follows with case studies showing how curves can be thrown at any phase of the journey. Understanding the process of moving through the phases lets you manage the content. The book even advises the reader on how to translate the content of each case study to the relevant content of the reader's own life situation. Applying the theory has often lifted my fog. I first read the book twenty-nine years ago. The book will help you lift your fog and lead your group to journeys with happy endings.
