Why You Shouldn't Blame Yourself for Anything

If Al Capone, two gun Crowley and Dutch Schultz don't blame themselves for anything, what about the people with whom you and I come in contact? Most of them attempt by a form of reasoning to justify their anti-social acts even to themselves. Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. B.F. Skinner proved through his experiments that an animal rewarded for good behavior will learn much more rapidly than one punished for bad behavior.
