"Everybody is somebody's difficult person some of the time."
That quote comes the following book:
Dealing with People You Can’t Stand, Revised and Expanded Third Edition: How to Bring Out the Best in People at Their Worst
Authors: Dr. Rick Brinkman, Dr. Rick Kirschner
Publisher: McGraw Hill, 2012
ISBN 978-0-07-178152-3
Although I'm only 40 pages in, the book obviously goes beyond the simple/catchy title (which almost makes it sound like the challenges are always because of other people.) The book quickly gets into cause and effect: how our own behavior impacts the behavior of others.
Sure, all of that may seem like common sense, but the book does a great job explaining it.
As soon as I read the quote today, I immediately saw this as an example of how intertwingularity applies to so much more than human knowledge (or any kind of information domain.)
Behavior of people, how people interact with each other, behavioral cause and effect: it is all deeply intertwingled.
Good stuff !
