About
Sensible Thinking 3: The Adventure Continues is a practical guide rooted in the principles of general semantics that provides tools to help one get effectively through the day. It offers GS techniques for clear thinking, emotional self-management, and analyses of social issues. Its approach is direct and accessible, making complex concepts understandable even to those unfamiliar with general semantics.
The book is structured with standalone chapters, allowing readers to engage with them individually without having prior context. It provides cogent examples to explain abstract ideas such as orders of abstraction, mapping territories, and time-binding and has chapters with reflections on historical events like particular eras of American disunity and the foundations of the Revolutionary War. There is also discussion of how Alfred Korzybski devised general semantics and a look at contemporary concerns such as post-traumatic stress disorder that incorporates no-nonsense strategies for its resolution. A coda presents a brief history of the Institute of General Semantics.
