Excerpt from the Book
2.1.2: Thematic Areas From The Book
William Arntz and Betsy Chasse conceived that questioning will lead you to knowing since it is the precursor of a voyage or adventure of discovery. But they were quick to add that the result or the answer could be unpleasant and may lead one to discomfort. And in all this if that question is able to revolutionize the bearing of your life then it is a great question. In view of this, the authors blatantly posit that until one assumes the condition of not knowing, knowledge will elude you
William et. al. (2005, Pg 172), surmised that as one thinks less and less of an issue (roommate) the neuronets’ connection lessens, until there is no connection at all; and more imperatively the brain learns in two main methods, first via truthful, academic data that we must and second, using knowledge.
Equally critical issue raised by the authors in page 178 of their book was that much of people behavior consists of conditioned, learned or automatic responses to stimuli.
Another verity that the authors elucidated in page 266 was the epic of science in our endeavors. These they purported included scientific method being a revolutionary advance to reality and that science removes the prejudice from observers and offer truer scenario. The authors illuminate in page 146 of the book that people should move out of their comfort zone and try doing what society would consider as insane.
