Your Behavior

This book will help you to: (1) analyze your own behavior based on a comprehensive understanding of why you do the things you do, (2) change your behavior if you want to, and (3) better understand why others behave as they do. Based on an approach that will take you beyond the outdated thinking that dominates psychology today, Dr. Pfau unveils informative secrets about human behavior, including the techniques that others use to influence what you do, how automatically and routinely you behave in most situations, and why.

Our body’s structure and organization affect what we do and help us to survive. Learn how our body and the environment around us interact to affect what we perceive and how we behave. Knowing this will put you at the cutting-edge of science and human behavior and allow you to understand your behavior and change it.


“Wow! I am impressed with this book! It is so comprehensive and neatly structured! And provides a great scientific context for introducing Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) to the layperson. I can see how the explanation builds up gradually over the chapters. Fantastic.”—Warren Mansell, DPhil, DClinPsy, CPsychol, Reader in Psychology, University of Manchester


"Richard Pfau has written an engaging, accurate book on a complex subject. To introduce the power of Perceptual Control Theory to a general readership in a way that may help in their everyday lives is no easy feat, but this book does just that. Highly recommended."—Martin Taylor, Ph.D., P.Eng., Senior Experimental Psychologist (Retd.), Defence Research Canada.
