IMAGES - Introduces some major concepts about ourselves in contradiction and how we often act against our own best interests. We Foolish People outlines our unnecessary negativism and sets the stage for developing more satisfactory self processes. We also get on terms with some new viewpoints and deepened understandings.

ATTITUDES - Redefines selfishness and promotes a better understanding of selfishness as a prime natural motive. Selfishness is examined as a basis for personhood that can aid us in being more for others, not less. Accepting and encouraging selfish motives are shown as valuable expressions of love, although not always so recognized.

COPING - Provides an analysis of blame and how accepting personal responsibility for what happens to us is part of an essential strategy for fulfilling our needs. The constructive value of self blame is described from a no fault, win-win perspective that reduces unhealthy responses.

EMOTIONS, particularly those most related to love needs and our love seeking processes are examined with basic goals in mind. Those goals are fulfilling our love needs through re-valuing those needs and the actions of persons that are the objects of our love needs. Some myths and misunderstandings are exploded.

PROBLEMS are approached through an established problem solving method that science has long held tenable. The structure of problem awareness is examined and the tenets of the Idealisic Realism philosophy are used to better understand some basic, positive thoughts that have endured over the ages.

OPPOSITES - The relationship aspects of gender differences and the basic components of self sustaining relationships are put into a practical framework. Basic personal rights in a relationship are explored and an attempt at diagnosing relationship problems and gearing for solutions is made. Explore this with us.

VALUES - Guides some thought about evaluating our value system while helping to improve our thinking as a different phenomenon than just internal mind action. Suggestions for guiding self-thought processes are given, the impossibility of worry is deciphered, and six reasons to be happy are outlined.

WORDS - Communication as a relationship construct (basic part of the structure) is examined at length. A new communication process is presented with an emphasis on what is missed in faulty communication. The important of trust-building in a relationship forms the central part of how communication proceeds. Somewhere along the way, the reader may happen onto a series of other concepts that serve to shape a better communication framework. Keep tuned!

PERSONHOOD brings many of the previously shown topics to fruition in the form of gaining a better sense of who one is as a person and where one wants to go with it. Examines some ideas about freedom, limits, happiness, and the gains of accepting and choosing effectively. Gives some truth to the concept of an Idealized Freedom.
