Getting out of the box October 12, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I came across this book by reference to learn the subject area more in depth. I found the track of case studies initially a bit annoying. Yet keeping going within day's one behavioural situation has flashed upon me. You immediately re-think your reaction or others. At least once you will catch yourself in the box. One of the quickest approaches to put into practice.
Resistance is useless May 14, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I first read this book several years ago but the ideas in it have stayed with me and increased in relevance over time. I read it mainly in the hope of finding ways to 'help' other people improve and so was very resistant to the idea that I might be contributing to the problems they were causing me. However, the simplicity, elegance and depth of the concepts rang so true and were so useful to me, in all areas of my life, that I have come back to it time and time again. At the heart of Arbinger work is the concept that we are continually making a choice in our `way of being' - to be responsive and to see others as people, whose needs and desires are just as important as our own, or to be resistant and to see others as objects, whose needs and desires are not as important as out own. Connected to this is the idea of self deception, which you could describe as the assumption that I am not a problem. When I am self-deceived (which, let's face it, is most of the time!) I am creating my own problems, but I am unable to see this, and I resist any attempt to solve these problems even though I say that is what I want. Liberation lies in the continuing efforts to 'get out of the box' and see people and situations without distortion and this book provides many illustrations and tools to help you do this.
