[book] Spiral Dynamics, By Don Edward Beck, Christopher C. Cowan (9/10)

[Key Elements]

It's a great text book - very lengthy - 343 pages. I don't find it easy to understand unless the person has some life experiences in interacting with different people and different places. (Eg. Have done travelling.) The book didn't mention stage coral.

General overview:

• Beige: If the thinking is automatic; the structures are loose bands; the process is survivalistic.
• Purple: If the thinking is animalistic; the structures will be tribal; the processes will be circular. 
• Red: If the thinking is egocentric; the structures are empires; the process is exploitative.
• Blue: If the thinking is absolutistic; the structures are pyramidal; the process is authoritarian.
• Orange: If the thinking is multiplistic; the structures are delegative; the process is strategic. 
• Green: If the thinking is relativistic; the structures are egalitarian; the process is consensual.
• Yellow: If the thinking is systemic; the structures are interactive; the process is integrative. 
• Turquoise: If the thinking is holistic; the structures are global; the process is flowing and ecological.

I find it helpful to pair the Spiral Dynamics diagram with this diagram starting from stage orange:

From the book: Guide to Investing by Robert Kiyosaki. Both these diagrams paired together make your life purpose. 

A crucial step in life:
