You present a great point in trying to really understand the opposing side of things. I can definitely see growth value there. Love the idea of keeping pad and pen when reading. I used to use sticky notes. Switched to little note books years ago so I had more space LOL 😝 great article and looking forward to the next issue Steve
Great issue once again! In my days as a therapist, I used the method you describe with discordant couples. It was almost humorous to watch each person absolutely bursting to refute what the other person said, but not being allowed to until they repeated what they heard and were validated by the first speaker. We humans have so much trouble with the most important component of communication--listening--especially if we don’t agree with what we think we are hearing.
Totally true! I was kind of worried about that point. And in reality, that technique can really improve our copywriting. Thanks for chiming in! Much appreciated.
You are right, Steve, putting pen to paper (or reMarkable 2.0) leaves an indelible mark on both paper and brain, especially if written in cursive.
Ahh… how delightful to agree with the truth and spirit of what you wrote… Thanks!
More, please!
Thank you, Diana! Next issue is hitting the digital newsstands bright and early tomorrow morning (Monday).

Thank you! I keep notes on an electronic ink tablet. Not as likely to lose it in the wasteland that is my disk, LOL
