Discover Perspective-Taking

• This book is about discovering, understanding, and using the 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) in order to develop and increase your skill of perspective-taking.
• Perspective-taking is learning the skill of looking at difficult issues from various points of view instead of from only one predominant point of view.
• Perspective-taking allows you to understand people, places, and things from different points of view and thereby expands your horizons and insights.

Practice Perspective-Taking

• The 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) teaches an easy and effective method for practicing perspective-taking.
• Using a model of five boxes, columns, lists, or positions, you learn how to easily and quickly develop five perspectives on any concern, issue, problem, or topic.
• The five positions, boxes, or columns remain constant, retaining their names and usage, making it is easy to plug in opposite, conciliatory, and balanced views into any 5TP diagram for any concern, issue, problem, or topic.

Opening Your Mind

• Discovering different perspectives on or views of reality in one area often results in opening your mind to discovering different perspectives or views of reality in other areas.
• Persistently practicing perspective-taking will lead to greater mental balance, flexibility, and openness, because perspective-taking, using the 5TP, is a yoga practice for the mind.
• And by having a more holistic grasp of the many sources of information available from using the 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) to improve your perspective-taking skill, you will also happily discover that your coping, creative, and problem-solving skills have also expanded and increased.

Accepting Your Views

• Using the 5TP does not require you to change your mind, to alter your beliefs, or to accept other points of view.
• The 5TP does require you to recognize at least five points of view regarding any issue, problem, or topic.
• What you do with that understanding is entirely up to you.
• However, you might find that recognizing other sides and viewpoints helps you perform better as a boss, companion, leader, listener, and negotiator.

Increase Understanding

• The 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) will significantly increase your understanding of any issue, problem, or topic, especially if you initially see or think that there exist only one or two points of view.
• Such new understandings can go a long way to allowing you to find peaceful solutions to real-life problems.

Triality Versus Duality

• This book will first cover some of the advantages and disadvantages of duality and triality in order to prepare the reader to understand the distinct benefits of the 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) over duality and triality.
• Duality can be understood as an improvement overthinking everything is one-sided, because duality sees a two-sided reality.
• Triality can be recognized as an improvement overthinking everything is two-sided, because triality sees a three-sided reality. 5TP can be understood as an advance overthinking everything is three-sided, because 5TP sees a five-sided reality.
