Synopsis
This thoroughly revised Third Edition of Drive Yourself Sane, first published in 1993, remains the most reliable short introduction to 'general semantics' (GS) now available. A remarkable system of thought founded by Alfred Korzybski (1879-1950), GS is based on a careful study of human behavior and scientific problem-solving, bridging applied psychology and practical philosophy. Drive Yourself Sane provides time-tested methods for critical and creative thinking and constructive communicating with a variety of problem-solving applications for mental hygiene, personal development, education, business, etc. The text and accompanying exercises help readers sharpen the primary tools they were born with: their individual brain-nervous systems with their marvelous capacities to adapt to change and to learn from and build upon their own and other people's experiences. This Third Edition contains fascinating additional biographical material about Alfred Korzybski, based on research for Bruce Kodish's book, Korzybski: A Biography. Includes Notes, Bibliography and Index.

About the Author
Bruce and Susan Kodish received the Institute of General Semantics' prestigious J. Talbot Winchell Award in 1998.

They together bring many years of experience in psychology, physical therapy/movement education, and GS scholarship, practice, and teaching to their writing and their individual and group work. Susan edited the book Developing Sanity in Human Affairs. Bruce is the author of Korzybski: A Biography; Dare to Inquire; and Back Pain Solutions. Bruce and Susan's goal is to help create a safer, saner world--one person at a time. You can learn more about their work and find GS-related links by visiting their website driveyouselfsane.com .
