Goodday friends, today we will start with the review of Chapter 1 of this great book , the title of chapter one is "Paradigms and Principles," .
Chapter 1: Paradigms and Principles
The Author started by introducing the concept of paradigms and their strong and effective impact on the way we see and interpretate the world.
He went ahead to define paradigm as a mental map or a framework of understanding that shapes our attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions.
essentially, paradigms can be defined as the lenses through which we see the world, and they play a very heavy role in the way we interpret events, interact with others, and make decisions.
With a compelling story, the Author illustrated the power of paradigms.
This was about what he experienced while traveling along the subway in the City of New York.
At first, with annoyance, he perceived a situation where he judged a father for failing to control his misbehaving children but his perception changed immediately he realized that the children were grieving the loss of their mother.
So at this instant, his feeling changed from annoyance to empathy and understanding.
At This points, he realized that paradigms can lead to a lot of interpretation and emotional response.
