Understanding Love and the Betrayal of Friendship

About the Book

This book is about the insights you need to become a more loving person. Two types of insight are needed. Psychological insights come from the careful explication of cognitive processes such as intersubjectivity. Personal insights are uncovered through a process of focusing redefined in cognitive terms. While many insights need to be acquired through hard work, many are mapped out in this book.

I have created a blog (interactive website or weblog) to learn about your insights, to answer questions, to reply to criticisms, and to report new insights. The website address is www.MyInsights.ca and my email address is info@MyInsights.ca. I want to hear about your insights. Please consider this website to be a means of sharing your insights with everyone. When you use this blog, you are, in effect, saying, “These are my insights,” hence the name of the blog. Let there be no doubt that your insights are important to everyone, not only because of their intellectual content, but because they will inspire others to seek their own needed insights and they provide scientific evidence about the kinds of insights that we needed and about how they are discovered.
