What makes a good conversationalist:
On/off attention switch-SLANT

Make Authors, not witnesses- ask for stories
How were you felling then? Now?
Fearless pauses 4-8 seconds at end
Looping- asking to see if you are tracking correctly
Midwife model- assist in the birth; Quaker clearness committee
Gem centered conflict
Disagreements below
Don’t “top”

A person is a point of view.
People don’t see the world with their eyes; they see it with their entire life.
We have subjective access to an objective reality out there.
Ask: how are they perceiving this situation? How are they experiencing this moment?

There’s what’s happened and then there’s how we perceive it. This makes up reality.

They cannot bear how they see themselves now-the reflections too clear, too unflattering, too brutal, too honest—and I realize we are not meant to see ourselves so plainly, without the guise of ego and ignorance, not meant to have our true characters revealed.

Kelli Smith is 62% done with The Happiest Man on Earth
This book is not what I expected. He tells his survival story chronologically at times, but also topically after about 50% of the way through.
So far his methods are man-centered: family, friends, education, morality.
