How to Think Like a Behavior Analyst is a revolutionary resource for understanding complex human behaviour and making potentially significant quality of life improvements. Behaviour analysts offer a worldview of the human condition that is different from almost any other professional perspective. To a behaviour analyst, human behaviour is largely learned and subject to change if the right variables are put into play. This is an empowering outlook, providing an opportunity for individuals to analyse the actions of those around them and understand why others exhibit such behaviour.
