Every letter he wrote is as contemporary today as the day it was written. The letters cover a wide range of topics addressing most of the problems people have struggled with for generations. “If we continue to use the external control psychology which tears people apart and destroys relationships, we’ll make no progress in improving the way we get along with each other. That’s the main task of the world. It’s as important as the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect. What good would it be to have a healthy planet if we can’t get along together? To me, that’s the bottom line. I support all that everyone is doing in terms of environmental health, but the environment that exists between two people-the destructive environment of external control- should be replaced with the constructive, helpful, supportive environment of Choice Theory.” William Glasser, M.D.
