How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World

by Harry Browne

An Introduc)on to the Book

Freedom is the opportunity to live your life as you
want to live it. And that is possible, even if others
remain as they are. The freedom you seek is already
available to you, but it has gone unno:ced. There are
two basic reasons why most people remain enslaved:
1. Theyre unaware of the many op:ons and
alterna:ves available to them;
2. They accept without challenge certain assump:ons
that restrict their freedom.
Many adults lack freedom not so much because someone has
stolen it from them as because they have thrown it away.

ChooseYOU!

You are only as free as you take the responsibility

to be while allowing others to do the same. Jack
You havent met yourself yet. But the advantage
to mee:ng others in the mean:me is that one of
them may present you to yourself. Examine the
nature of everything you observe.
Waking Life, the Movie

Choice Theory, William Glasser

The only person whose behavior we can control
is our own. All we can give another person is
informa:on. All long las:ng psychological
problems are rela:onship problems.
