 | Discipline without Stress Punishments or Rewards by Marvin L. Marshall
How to influence people to change is the prime message of this book. It is a blending of three fields-education, parenting, and personal growth. It clearly and systematically shows how internal motivation is far more powerful and effective than any external approach. In addition to showing how to reduce stress and motivate others, this landmark book describes an effective and proven approach to reducing irresponsible behavior. People who use the RAISE RESPONSIBILITY SYSTEM find it life-changing. The simple strategy shows how to empower-rather than overpower-and can be used in any school, home, or business setting. This approach is coercive. Research-as well as common sense-show that coercion can only change behavior temporarily by forcing compliance, not committment. Although people can control others, they cannot change others. People change themselves. This book shares simple strategies using a noncoercive and enabling manner to influence people to change. This fascinating, insightful book is more than technique. It breathes a sound philosophy and way of thinking that empowers us, instead of our constantly looking to others for solutions. Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. AUTHOR: Marvin L. Marshall
