So many insights by D. H. Young (Rotterdam, Netherlands)  5 Stars
March 04, 2009
I've learnt so much from this book. Its basic premise is that, while we can't control everything in life that happens to us, we can control our reactions to those events. Very often those reactions are self-destructive or damaging to ourself and others, unless we realise why we behaved in that way and that we have the power within ourselves to choose another course of action.
I'm as sceptical as the anyone about the endless stream of self-help books on the market, with their overfacile cures for every known malady under the sun. This book doesn't pretend to be that, it just offers samples of typical behaviours we can all recognise, goes behind them to analyse the real underlying reason for them, and offers suggestions for alternatives. Eye-opening.

This is the best book that I have read that explains the basics of Control Theory. It is a simple, straight-forward book. I recommend it for anyone who is seeking to learn the basics of Control Theory.
