Metaphors and Similes

Understanding your brain puts you in control.

One of the central ideas we develop in this project is Dr Glasser’s metaphor of a car as it relates to human behavior.

Total behavior is made up of four components; acting, thinking, feeling and physiology. All four components are present all the time and we name our current behavior by the most obvious component.

Like the wheels of a car, if one wheel changes direction or speed, the others are affected. For this project we have designed and built a model car to help demonstrate principles of human behaviour.
