Chapter 7 - Conflict

[Fred Nickols (2016.11.12.1258)]

Chapter 7 is another good one. It deals with conflict, starting with a nice explanation of what it is and how it occurs. Also very useful is the well laid out distinction between arbitrary and respectful control. Ditto for the examination of self-control, including the self.

Spotted an oddity. On page 102 is a reference to a “no-holes-barred” contest. I think that should be “no-holds-barred.” (See how neatly I resolved the conflict between what is there and what I think should be there? Or did I just control something? Oh darn!)

 RM: Great. When you finish I hope you put some comments up at the Amazon site.

FN: Spotted an oddity.Â

RM: Actually, you spotted a mistake. I found another one myself. I’ll communicate these to the publisher and try to get them fixed for future print runs.Â

No holes barred is a term for freestyle golf, in which, if you hit the ball over to a parallel fairway you can optionally play it to that green and count the intervening holes with your score on that hole. :-’
