Choosing: Selecting a path when reason cannot show which way to go
Choosing pervades out lives, nourished by evolutionary roots
that stretch back 4,000,000 years. It activates freedom and indexes
social openness, and only the person who chooses can mature. One
who chooses not to choose ignobly shuns responsibility and cannot
honorably say, "I." Choosing, central to initiative, sparks the
economy that feeds earth's swollen population. Choosing works on
policy issues that dispassionate reason cannot handle, and nothing
less than good choosing will see us through these "interesting
times." However, the melding of reason with choosing gave our
species its edge over all the other hominids Context matching
theory helps us (voters, CEOs, legislators) choose well, by telling
us the nature of the act of choosing. CM theory directly opposes
DA's rational models, painting choosing as a swift, natural
happening, basically intuitive and non-mystical. It exposes the
prerequisites to good choosing.
Theoretical = impractical? No way. "There is nothing so
practical as a good theory" (Kurt Lewin), and Dr. Rhyne spends two
thirds of this book exploring the many very practical, often
revolutionary implications of his "good theory."
