I listened to this book on my way to and from a trip to Casper, Wyoming. It is another book (besides Leadership and Self-Deception) built around C. Terry Warner's powerful take on "I and thou" philosophy articulated back in the day by Martin Buber. Wonderful, powerful ways to think. The book unfolds as a drama where parents are dropping off their teenagers at a "reform" experience out in Nature. It can be annoying as stereotypes unfold, but it is mostly very intriguing and entertaining as the ideas are explained through parental dialogue with the camps' founders.
"Getting in the box" is the way self-deception is described, and the misguided thinking it leads to. There are many "boxes" included in the discussion, and they are universal archetypes. "I'm better than..." and "I know more than..." are two that I related to. There are many others. I need to listen to it again to reconnect with this content. It really helped my thinking and my personal change process.
