Six Blind Elephants: Understanding Ourselves and Each Other, Vol. 1: Fundamental Principles of Scope and Category

This two-volume book presents a detailed "unified field theory" of experience, thinking, and personal change that goes beyond NLP to understand the structure of any experience or change of experience. If you ever find yourself out of choices-either in your own life, or in your work with others-you know how nice it would be to always have something to do next.

The fundamental distinction between scope and category offers a way to describe and track someone's experience-from ordinary troubles and difficulties to positive mystic experiences of union or oneness. The same knowledge provides surprisingly endless possibilities for changing your experience when you want it to be different. Rich with examples gleaned from a variety of different therapists and a lifetime of experience illustrate every aspect described.
