Looks to be some very interesting stuff at IGS. Which of Alfred Korzybski's books would you recommend as a starting point?RickThu, 12 May 2005 07:55:11 -0000http://www.rickcecil.com/2005/04/10/why-we-listen/#comment-3574337Bess Sondel belonged to, and many of her best ideas/practices came from, a group called the Institute for General Semantics - <a href="http://www.time-binding.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.time-binding.org</a> - which one might call a "life skills" improvement group (using "life skills" as you do) that focuses on communications. A lot of Sondel's books and other writings quote (and/or borrow directly from) Alfred Korzybski who founded the group. So, if Bess Sondel's work pleases and benefits you, you might want to visit <a href="http://www.time-binding.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.time-binding.org</a> - if you do, tell Steve Stockdale that I sent you and said "Hello!"Kate GladstoneWed, 11 May 2005 19:09:39 -0000
