I enjoyed reading this section of the book! I liked the way it showed how the cycle is applicable to all learning areas of life and that the cycle continues over and over as we increase our learning in a given area.
I really loved that explanation of the lifelong learning journey we are all on.
This was an enjoyable reading section that felt exploratory by nature rather than heavily analytical or cumbersome to interpret. I found myself often pausing to consider how the point being made applied to my own life and personal relationships as well as to the work I do, which was illustrative of the greater point being made and particularly ironic in light of the comments on page 61.
I also enjoyed the section detailing how we integrate people into our lives and how we interpret what we think about who they are. My favorite line, which challenged the way I tend to think about people, was: "If I ever believe I really know you, I demean you with my limitations."
This section of the book revealed several "a ha" moments for me and brought more clarity to the 4MAT model. I better understand now how when we are learning we start at 12 o'clock with feeling or interest in the topic. We move through the cycle and can train ourselves to "slow down" in the places where we are most resistant (lowest score) so we can truly integrate the learning.
I also appreciated the visual that the cycles are really spirals because as we go through the cycle and return to 12 o'clock, we will "start again" and increase our knowledge and learning.
