It’s in the darkness of their eyes that the men get lost
- Black Elk
It’s a profound book talk about outward mindset (being out of the box). You probably in the box already without any awareness. At least I am one of the people who are in the box.
This book helps you expose something that exists in your life already for a long time: self-deception. It blinds us to the real causes of problems, and once we are blind, we will make matters worse. Everybody, more or less, experiences the in-box moment. This book elaborates on how we get into the box: being self-justified and self-betrayed, which happened quite often in both the workplace and daily life.
Moreover, it gives guidance on how to get out of the box and stay out of it, which allows you to treat people as people instead of an object, to put yourself in other shoes, and to be responsible for things that you get involved in and a lot more. Only reading the book is not enough; you have to put it into practice and take time to reflect on it deeply. Once you are out of the box, it will immediately impact on you. You will find everything surround you just magically changed.
