THE TEN AXIOMS OF CHOICE THEORY
* The only person whose behaviour we can control is our own.

* All we can give or get from other people is information.

* All long-lasting psychological problems are relationship problems.

* The problem relationship is always part of our present lives.

* What happened in the past that was painful has a great deal to do with what we are today, but revisiting this painful past can contribute little or nothing to what we need to do now: improve an important, present relationship.

* We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.

* We can satisfy these needs only by satisfying a picture or pictures in our quality worlds.

* All we do from birth to death is behave. All behaviour is total behaviour and is made up of four inseparable components: acting, thinking, feeling, and physiology.

* All total behaviour is designated by verbs, usually infinitives and gerunds, and named by the component that is most recognisable.

* All total behaviour is chosen, but we have direct control over only the acting and thinking components.
