Why Do People Act That Way … and What Can I Do about It?
A new book written by Dr. Myke Merrill helps readers understand their fellow human beings' behavior
ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Who hasn't scratched their head while trying to understand why a family member, coworker, friend or stranger did something inexplicable? For instance, why a business associate suddenly tells you about the affair they are having or why the neighbor, who seemed perfectly OK last weekend, just killed himself.
In Why Do People Act That Way? (And What Can I Do About It?), a new book from Fifty20 Communications, Dr. Myke Merrill answers questions such as those using concepts he developed over the past quarter of a century.
Dr. Myke draws on the insights he learned as a counselor, small business owner, executive, pastor, college instructor, husband, father, friend, world traveler, teacher, organizational director, and a constantly curious thinker to develop the concepts in Why Do People Act That Way?
In an interview, he can answer such questions as:
- What practical skills help people navigate difficult situations and relationships?
- What are the five basic emotional systems human beings experience and why is it important to know about them?
- What does he mean by the four complexes of the mind? How do they shape the way people interpret reality?
- How do you know how to respond when someone says or does something that makes you scratch your head?
