Unless you live on a Tibet mountain, you are most of the time surrounded by people. Who are they? What do they think? What their intentions are? How could you understand a person in front of you? How could you know for one to be a friend or an enemy? How much can you trust your friends? And marriage - that's quite a commitment, but what if you're making one blindly, without really understanding your partner? All these questions are better be answered or else you could find yourself in a ton of troubles by a blink of an eye.
How to Understand a Person - What Understanding Really Is?
Once, I had a change to read a book called the Science of Survival by L. Ron. Hubbard - you can find it on the Amazon. It talked about the three components of understanding, I mean there are only three parts to understanding and they can be learned to use and put into practice. I mean it was really made simple for an average person to grasp the exact and simple technique to understand any person in a couple of minutes talk!
I cannot tell you all of the book, of course - it is unbelievably worth your time compared to the benefits of really understanding people in your life or lives or your friends, parents and colleges.
Anyway, in really short, they to understand a person is comprised from first of all mapping his emotional state to a predefined set of 52 emotional positions, some of the main of them being: apathy, fear, anger, antagonism, boredom, interest, enthusiasm. There are many gradations between the major ones, but once you more or less mapped the regular emotional attitude of a person to one of those tones, you can know by the book an astounding amount of information about the person's beliefs, ability to talk and listen, attitude toward sex, children, marriage, how good a friend he would be and even if you could trust him or her with a job in your company.
Well connected to the emotional state of a person but a different component of understanding is what are things the person thing as true and real. Like if the person talks about a movie - it's obviously real enough for him to talk about, right? But maybe another movie is less real and he wouldn't talk about it. So are many more other things, like food, sex, sports, companies, jobs, politics, even religion. If you could detect the things that are real to a guy - you have a direct way to understand the person.
And in the basis of that all is the ability to communicate - when you talk to a person and especially attentively listen to him or her, it's really is the key to understanding, because then you could, first of all, detect the emotional level and secondly, discover the realities and agreements in his or her world.
That's about it - these three components when understood and applied open a working and efficient way to really understand the person - any person in a very short amount of time.
