This is a great thought. For those who haven't read Crucial Conversations, I really advise you do. They hit on a point in that book around how we understand our feelings in moments of conflict and how we often avoid seeing the other as a thinking party:
- What is my story?
- What am I pretending not to know about my role in the problem?
- Why would a reasonable, rational and decent person do this?
- What should I do right now to move toward what I really want?
Crucial Conversations genuinely changed my life, and I'm the kind of person that was praised for my communication skills.
- mockingbirdy 8y agoThanks for the book recommendation. I've invested a lot of time studying psychology and how the mind works to build a framework to increase my understanding of human behavior and consciousness. It's always nice to see books that enhance this journey. edit: to give something back. Please see [1]. A psychologist tries to build a coherent mental framework that contains most of the current knowledge in psychology. There are some theories (like BIT) which are not particularly controversial, but very helpful to understand the human mind.
