Book Cover & Preview Text
Preface (To the second edition) “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” ― Confucius Although the title, What I Do, seemed like a good one, it did not tell the story correctly. That the emphasis on what a man does is certainly germane, it leaves out the significance of the communication process. Chapter five starts with the hierarchy of learning titled: Communication and Living. Although the focus shall be on what I do, it should carry awareness of the process of communication at all levels. This is especially true as one speaks to self, the non-schizophrenic voice within one’s mind that assists with keeping one in touch with reality. The chapters are about the same; changes necessary to understanding and grammar are included. After reading each chapter, you should contemplate how the information relates to self-communication and to your values about life. The many theoretical approaches that I have made only give clue to my introspection, not to how the world is. Each one must draw their own conclusions. As to validity, truth and goodness, the jury may still be out.
