Using R.E.A.D.
I keep yanking you back and forth between childlike
observing and adult-brain thinking because you need to be
agile in transitioning from one to the other in R.E.A.D. “R”
requires wide-eyed, toddler curiosity, but you cannot accom-
plish “E, A, and D” without sophisticated mental processes
and rich, human experience.
Right now, go back to the kid.
First, question everything I have said here. Always ques-
tion experts. You are sitting in the best laboratory in the
world—real life. No lab experiment paying people to partici-
pate in stress-causing exercises is going to produce the kind
of stress a good butt-chewing from an employer will. No
experiment about lying in which the consequence is a psy-
chologist finding out can compare to hiding infidelity from a
mate.
