Becoming Conscious
Dr. William Glasser's book on Choice Theory, assigned in the class of the same name, pulled together in the first five chapters concepts that I'd run into over the years in human growth workshops I took over many years; Parent Effectiveness Training, EST, Committment, even Time Management. His take on our basic needs of survival, love and belonging, power, fun and freedom simplifies and condenses Maslow's hierarchy, and aids understanding of ourselves and others. I
The basic premise is that relationships are the most important factor in our life, a consequence of the basic need of love & belonging. When relationships are not fulfilling, or troublesome, we feel distress, and wonder what to do.
Dr. Glasser teaches that our behavior is our responsibility and we always have a choice. He suggests that the challenge is in the present, and that digging into the past to attribute responsibility to parents, friends, or socioeconomic status is postponing effectiveness. If you want to change your life, change your behavior, and start now.
The teaching on the "deadly habits" of criticism, manipulation, nagging, scolding, and blaming are contrasted with the "helping habits," and gets us to look at our behavior that works, and doesn't in fostering healthy relationships.
The first five chapters give enough information to make the book worthwhile. As one starts to become aware of the concepts and put them to work, change happens and life becomes more balanced, and you may find increased insight, understanding and tolerance of others, improved relationships, in fact. That is worthwhile!
Dr. Glasser discounts the medical model of addiction, which was the most difficult for me. He believes that people become alcoholics and addicts by their choice, and medication is not an answer, just most positive choices.
While I realize that the medical model of addiction is political, I believe that addiction is complex, and has bio-chemical,genetic, social, as well as spiritual factor. What is most positive in the Choice Theory approach is the encouragement and empowerment to deal with the present, and make changes now, instead of years of therapy to try to fix the problems by looking at mother, father, society and what went wrong. It's practical, logical, and effective.
Therapy can come later, if one CHOOSES.

Fluff, for entertainment
If you like beautiful flirting, eating, a drive through Italy countryside, and just being watching beautiful people, this is for you. Sometimes we need light, not too complicated, just for fun.

For those curious about The Nag Hammadi. Books
It is for those curious as to what was discarded, even banned, when the “ Holy Bible” was assembled by men. It is well researched and referenced with the Bible. It had me doing more Bible study than I have in years . It also led to my ordering “ The Christianities” which is excellent.
