Dr. William Glasser offers a new psychology that, if practiced, could reverse our widespread inability to get along with one another, an inability that is the source of almost all unhappiness. For progress in human relationships, he explains that we must give up the punishing, relationship-destroying external control psychology. For example, if you are in an unhappy relationship right now, he proposes that one or both of you could be using external control psychology on the other. He goes further. And suggests that misery is always related to a current unsatisfying relationship.

Publisher's Summary
This audiobook can stand alone but if you plan on being a completely effective Social Jujitsu practitioner you will need to add the tools demonstrated in the first book. The book is called Social Jujitsu and Powerful Principles for Managing Social Conflict by James Nugent. It teaches the three key strategies of evading, deflecting, and redirecting social aggressors. This book moves on to teach about drawing the aggressor in getting them to react to you, putting the aggressor in a double bind, and helping them self-destruct.
Warning
These techniques are not to be used casually. They can occasionally escalate a situation and if you don't know other social jujitsu strategies, it can get out of your control. If at any time you feel in danger in a social conflict immediately leave and or call the police. No system of self-defense can guarantee your wellbeing.
Disclaimer
You are the only one who is responsible for your choices in relationship and life. This book is not in any way a substitute for competent mental health consultation or therapy. If you need help in dealing your relationships get help from a professional. This audiobook is just for discussion purposes only.

If you want to win, and win big, and, more importantly, keep what you work so hard for, you need a crystal-clear view of how the real world works - not how you wish it worked, but how it actually works.
