Art of the Possible: A Compassionate Approach to Understanding the Way People Think, Learn, and Communicate [Englisch] [Taschenbuch]

This is the first book I ever read by this author. I was ASTOUNDED by it's applicability in my case at least. I am a mix of KVA and VKA personality types as far as I can tell -- I don't get all hung up on being just one personality type. The diagram tables are GREAT! -- and they are missing from a similar later book.

What KVA and VKA means as regards my unconscious is that auditory "A" is where my unconscious inspirations some from. I assume that each of us is not balanced in our 5 senses as to which we can simultaneously be aware of. Apparently auditory is the one which I have the most trouble with in normal life -- I am primarily a visual learner but also touchie-feelie [ therefore VKA ], but in a solitary environment I can hear my unconscious expressing itself in certain ways, whether literally or metaphorically I am uncertain sometimes. Regardless, I am attempting to become FRIENDLY with my unconscious.

This book is a good technique to begin learning how to address some of the issues which are mentioned in the book Own Your Own Life by Gary Emery. The two combined are a major impact producer in my life. I am tempted to keep it all a secret, because people who are not diligent may tend to make a sham or scam of this knowledge. I decided today to take that risk of exposing the greatness of these two works when combined together. Good luck!

I am ordering some of the author's other works -- based mostly on the table of contents as revealed in amazon's "look inside" feature. Hope it works out for me, AND FOR YOU!

The one missing item is this -- we have 5 senses, not three, and why is it that taste and smell are not addressed in this author's theory ? Perhaps having a 5-layer or 5-level of consciousness in a theory is a bit much for humanity to consider at this time ?

Now here is some physiological basis for my personality bias -- I have a slight hearing problem , wasn't diagnosed as a kid. In large crowds where a lot of people were talking on different subjecs it was all a buzz to me. I am great in small groups, but somehow if the people I am talking to are randomly switching topics, e.g. because they heard someone else nearby switch to another, then I get uncomfortable. So I end up sitting out a lot of such big crowd activities on the sideline from an enforced shyness.

I also did not TRUST my hunches. NOW I am more aware of nomoenclatures, wordplay, and word associations, as well as comparative personality theory , so I have more interaction ability. However, somehow the biological shyness is still there -- i.e. my INTP introvertism DOES GET DRAINED from extensive conversations. So I would like to see books which explain how my improved outgoingness can perhaps learn to get along without downtime -- which is about the ONLY thing which the author does not address in the way of the unconscious.

Came just as the vendor described. There are no other books like this one out there. If you want to expand your understanding of consciousness and learning then buy this book. You will be an enlightened person if you put your heart into to participating with this. All my love, Thank you amazon.
