Because I want you to learn how to put the information in this book into practice, the sequence of chapters in this book has been very carefully planned for easy learning. Each chapter presupposes and builds on understandings and skills that have been taught in previous chapters. Without these previous understandings, parts of later chapters will be confusing. Because of this, I highly recommend that you read the chapters in sequence. But if you would like to start with some shorter pieces for samples of what this book offers you, I have some suggestions:
Chapter 9 presents a verbatim transcript of a session which demonstrates teaching a man how to think of himself as lovable, including follow-up interviews with him and his wife that describe the widespread impact that this had on his marriage and his life.
Chapter 13 presents another very direct application, how to change your boundaries in order to protect yourself from the opinions, influences and intrusions of others.
Chapter 4 begins the process of exploring the structure of your self-concept, and learning how to strengthen it and change it.
The Appendix is another place to experience rapid changes through simple processes called Perspective Patterns. The ability to view an experience in perspective is a widely useful ability, and it is also one of the fundamental processes underlying your self-concept.
After you have sampled one or more of these chapters, I hope that you will go back to the beginning and read the book in sequence, to maximize your understanding and personal benefit. I invite you to join me and the training participants on this journey, to learn how you think of yourself, and how to rapidly change that so that you can become the kind of person you would like to be.
