Preface; About the Authors; Chapter 1 We Are All Controlling People; Chapter 2 The Nature of Controlling; Chapter 3 Perceptual Control Theory: How Purposeful Behavior Works; Chapter 4 We Contain Multitudes; Chapter 5 Zen and the Art of Controlling; Chapter 6 People Who Control People (Including Themselves); Chapter 7 Conflict: People at Cross Purposes; Chapter 8 Resolving Conflict: Going Up a Level; Chapter 9 Freedom and Control; Chapter 10 Living With Our Own Controlling Nature; Endnotes.
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.
