William Glasser, Author of “Reality Therapy” and “Choice Theory”, Dies at 88

William Glasser (May 11, 1925 – August 23, 2013) wrote in his 1988 classic “Choice Theory: A New Psychology of Personal Freedom” that “We choose everything we do, including the misery we feel.” He challenged readers to fundamentally change their view of reality to one of “love, friendship, negotiation and trust” in 1965’s “Reality Therapy.” And, in 1969’s “Schools Without Failure“, he urged that schools should abandon coercive methods such as class rank and grading.
