The happy person

the long version

Greenwald has worked with his co-author, Elizabeth Rich, to bring to readers an inside look at the application of Direct Decision Therapy in his clinical work. The essence of the theory is that we all take life positions based on formative life experiences and our interpretations of them. Behaviours are reinforced by the payoffs. In short, we choose, whether consciously or not, our way of being in the world...whether that is depressed, angry, passive, suffering or otherwise miserable. It is a thought provoking and challenging book - in opening the possibility of making conscious choices that are more life affirming. Wonderful book.
