Naturals....

Some people live out the principals of Choice Theory without having read any of Dr. Glasser's books. They seem naturally attuned to the needs of others, and they often get the most remarkable reactions in situations that the rest of us would regard as threatening and negative.

Listen to Julio Diaz's story about his encounter with a thief on a Bronx subway platform:

Does Diaz's story strike you as believable? How did his approach resonate with the young thief's basic needs for for safety & security, love & belonging? How might you have behaved in similar circumstances?

Make it a great day!
