Making Sense of Behavior

Making Sense of Behavior is the long-anticipated work on Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) by the originator written for the general reader in nontechnical language.From the author:"This is a book about human nature, as we try to guess about it by watchinghuman behavior. It's about a particular theory that seems to fit a great dealof what we see people doing and a great deal of our own private experience.A lot of people think that this is a pretty good theory.But my object in this book is not to persuade you that the theory is right,either by itself or by comparison with other theories. My main objective isto tell you what the theory is and why it has been constructed as it is. I willtell you of the observations that I have thought needed an explanation, andof how this theory appears to explain them. You can decide for yourselfwhether the theory and the observations go together, and are important."
