Who's Pulling Your Strings?: How to Stop Being Manipulated by Your Own Personalities

Louis Proto has written a "popular psychology" self-help book in which he suggests that we have inner "selves" such as the inner child, the inner parent, the "pleaser" and the inner critic which influence us and hence "pull our strings". He argues that we should try instead to "pull our own strings" by taking control of our lives. He also discusses different personality types, projected and disowned personalities and movie myths.
