In Over Our Heads - Robert Keegan

[flesh]

Another great book I've read this year.

 

Hmmm, basically he does a good job of demonstrating how what's required to succeed in all the things most care about caring about are over

the heads of the general populace, % wise. He picks up where Piaget left of with the cross culturally dependable levels of meaning making. He breaks down 5 orders of consciousness or meaning making where all higher orders transcend and include

the previous levels. He believes that only 25% IIRC of the USA populace are currently at the 4th order, which is what's required in the modern, W.E.I.R.D countries. Many examples are given, making it a relatively easy read. As you read about the levels.... some may be over you head.

 

Seems to map onto the world pretty well for me.

I'd add that segmenting the population into the orders of consciousness helped me as a investor. Top ten book for me.
