Some days, my head hurts from listening. It's more a feeling of exhaustion than discomfort. I reach a point where I know I need a reset.

I have a close friend whose Perceptual Style, like mine, is Activity. He was my college roommate, and we have known each other for 50 years. He lives about 1,000 miles away from me, but he visits me once or twice a year, and we escape to a rustic country cabin in Central Texas to catch up with each other's lives.

My husband, Ricardo, is wrapping up several months of work translating Gary and my book, Unlock the Power of Your Perception, into Spanish (we’re targeting the end of this year for publication).

Losing someone you love leaves a void that's hard to fill. The truth is, you survive the loss one day at a time. It takes time to heal from the pain.

In his book, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Yuval Noah Harari presents a powerful thesis that Homo Sapiens came to dominate the planet because we are the only species able to unite and cooperate through the bond of shared stories. We identify with these stories, which form the basis for connecting with total strangers around common beliefs.

Gary and I were recent guests on Randi Fine’s blog talk-radio show, A Fine Time for Healing: A Sanctuary for Your Emotional Wellbeing.

Randi is an internationally renowned Narcissistic Personality Disorder abuse expert and sought-after coach. When we first learned about her work, we were intrigued.

Over the last several months Lynda-Ross and I have been involved in a marketing campaign for our book. We have written guest blogs and participated in radio interviews and podcasts, all to increase awareness and interest in Perceptual Style Theory, the book, and the work we do.

Most of us have a pretty active inner voice that’s willing to jump in at any moment with a running commentary about what’s happening in our lives.

I have a confession to make. I rarely watch competition shows like American Idol, America’s Got Talent, The Voice, or even Dancing with the Stars when they are broadcast.

In a recent blog post, I wrote about a weekend I spent with my oldest friend. In that article, I talked about how we share the same Perceptual Style and how that contributed to the deep connection that we have had for 50 years. But there is more to that connection than shared Perceptual Style.
