Summary

This quote suggests that society is a construct of the mind, not a tangible entity. It posits that in reality, there are only individuals, with their own thoughts, actions, and experiences. It implies that concepts such as societal norms and institutions are abstract and exist only in our minds. Therefore, the quote challenges the idea that society has an independent existence beyond the individuals who comprise it. It highlights the importance of recognizing and understanding the unique perspectives and agency of individuals within the framework of society.

The Inside-Out approach to personal and interpersonal effect

The Inside-Out approach to personal and interpersonal effectiveness means to start first with self; even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self -- with your paradigms, your character, and your motives. The inside-out approach says that private victories precede public victories, that making and keeping promises to ourselves recedes making and keeping promises to others. It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves.
