All Sorts of People - Ordered Complexity
Maybe this will help me relate better? All Sorts of People - Ordered Complexity by Lane Friesen
How does one explainthe Ordered Complexity of the Mind? Where on earth does one begin?
OK, let’s start with an overview of who is good at what and so on. A comprehensive overview of basic personality styles.
We follow with an analysis of the Exhorter in history. Magical Mystery Tours. The bubbling cauldron of Mr. Excitement!
Then, we turn to the Mercy in history. Attracting our attention through emotional sensitivity. Feeling our pain, healing our hurts, making us laugh, confronting evil through non-violent resistance.
There isn’t enough room in this text for all seven. The others will be published separately.
But wait — isn’t there already a classification system called MB something? You’ve got it — we’re going to look at that next. We’ll call it MBNI which is close enough so everyone out there can recognize the topic. Childhood development. Neurological foundations.
We’ll examine basic Compatibilities and Conflicts. Relationships - at home, at work, everywhere. Such simple misunderstandings; what misery they cause.
Finally, we move to Neurology — research, explanations. Stuff like dopamine and the substantia nigra. Fitting the puzzle together. Cost-benefit, contingency planning. Parkinson’s disease. Schizophrenia.
By the way, how does one deal with habits? Anyone know? We’ll discuss that too.
So, let’s get started!

After 8 episodes, I still don’t see the point. Sorry, life is too short.

I got up to chapter 14 and just couldn’t go on. There was no flow to the chapters. One person is this way, one person is this way, over and over again. This book maybe just doesn’t lend itself well to an audio format. The chapters were too long for my liking, and the author never builds any credibility with me, none of his sources are sited in text so it seems to be pretty much just his observations. Anyway I stopped listening so maybe eventually it gets better.

This book is an amazing piece of work. It’s true it reads perhaps more like a text book but I have found it truly facinating and unique. Because it is phenomenonaly accurate and extensive with a new approach, it stands alone, a great achievement. I am enjoying how it decribes me so completely and the man I live with as well. Though maybe difficult for some to get through, unlike an easy to listen to Science Fiction, I believe it’s a work of genius and should be given the respect that’s due it. It isn’t meant for certain readers, particularly those who havn’t the patience for a subject that requires lots of intensive details and facts or for those who are expecting some kind of flowing story line. For those of us who enjoy extensive information on a facinating subject that breaks through all kinds of barriers and rings so true it’s mind blowing, it’s more than a worth while read. I’m looking forward to reading all the subsequent books. By better understanding myself, I can change my life for the better!

It was a genius piece of work. I was in the middle of reading Mises’s “Human Action” which is a treatise on Economics but it is truly a book about life. It is accepted as a piece of remarkable work, having the Mises organization behind it and being the only true economics with any logical proof of being the truth. He created a whole sciencetific foundation for Carl Mengers idea’s which are now the whole basis for the Austrian School of Economics. Which has blown the mask off the Chicago school of Economics, which is the whole basis for the American Economy that has caused one great deppresion and having the dollar nearly collapse in the late 70’s. Fact is that Mises idea’s predicted the great deppression, he was able to see it. He created this scientific foundation of human action to try and convince his country and then in essay’s following his original publication of “Human Action” made the same connections to predict America’s own great depression.
My point for bringing this up, is Mises had found the truth. The truth in Economics and was able to forsee a horrible problem that was caused by the centralized states interference in the free market. No body wanted to listen to this genius piece of work. And if you read it and truly understand his treatise(trust me have a dictionary ready), this work from such remarkable rennisance magnitude genius who still is not fully appreciated for his work, there is no denying that it is truth.
The same can be said about “Ordered Complexity”. Just because you haven’t been able to get through it, and I do agree this isn’t a book that should be on audio because for most people to process some of the idea’s it probably needs to be learned visually for most people. But you can deny the validity in what she is saying.
I dont think that she should have tried so hard to fit it into the MBNI model because it can stand on it own, but that was her choice probably during a republishing after criticism because she says that she wasn’t made aware of the MBNI model until after she finished the book.
If anyone wants to discuss the book with me I have alot of idea’s and would love some discussion on it. You can check my website and send me an email. Just put in the subject line Cognitive Styles or Ordered Complexity. The website is just my business, was just a way to give my email out. If it doesn’t show my email is figslausondental@gmail.com
