Control
is all around us, between husbands
and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends,
parents and children, teachers
and students, bosses and employees,
and certain entities. Even though
LaMont Prospect earned a Bachelor's
Degree in English, a Master's
Degree in Social Work and a Doctorate
in School Psychology, this book
does not preach or tell people
what to do or how to live their
lives. It has no psychological
jargon or textbook language. If
someone was to say "you
need to do A, B, C and D with
your life," that
would be controlling. Of the 44
chapters, thirty-four are real
stories about real people and
how the need for control ruined
their lives and the lives of others
around them. The other 10 chapters
are about entities that try to
control people. While some of
these entities may seem rather
obvious, most forms of control
are very subtle. The goal is to
help readers recognize unhealthy
forms of control and from there
it is up to them to decide what
to do with their lives.
