What others have said about this book...
"I have to say that I enjoyed it immensely.
I feel that this book is so valuable in
that it seems to be the first one to weave together all the Upper Right components
of Ken Wilber's 4-
My favorite part was Keith's discussion
about why we have emotional reactions to values & beliefs, but not to discussions/debates
about skills or knowledge. To have this Upper Right correlate to explain why we fight
with each other (and even engage in war) was so incredibly helpful."

"I found some of the ideas at the beginning a bit hard going -
I really liked the idea of being able to use it as a self help book, as well as a
tool for exploring how some models may fit together and how to use them practically.
This
all comes with a suitably severe warning about using these models wisely ("great
knowledge brings with it great responsibility” -

"The most remarkable thing about 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' is the way Keith Rice
has put together a coherent jigsaw made up of so many pieces of the key
behavioural
science theories. Whilst so many practitioners are very precious about their pet
interests, Keith freely acknowledges and credits the work of
leading theorists, adding
value to our understanding by drawing the parallels between the various schools of
thought, both ancient and contemporary.
The book provides an excellent revision source for Keith's training courses and further
expands our understanding of what makes us tick. Demanding, but wholly absorbing
and enlightening."

"Keith E Rice has done a really wonderful job with his book, 'Knowing Me, Knowing
You'. It meshes so many concepts new to me with Spiral Dynamics that I feel I'm soaring
to new heights of intellectual life!'

“'Knowing Me, Knowing You' is very readable and will give insights both to people
who know about Spiral Dynamics and those who don't. The meshing of all the different
theories of Psychology and Sociology is masterful....it must be groundbreaking!"
-
"As one who came to Spiral Dynamics via the NLP route in 1998 and has worked extensively
with both models, I have witnessed a number of discussions between those who tried
to say NLP was the significant tool and SD a support to it and vice versa. Keith
Rice has shown that they can work in combination. I reckon 'Knowing Me, Knowing You'
is a great encapsulation of both models and how they can be used in conjunction with
each other. The referencing of additional models and papers is exceptional and I'll
be following up on a number of them.
There is no doubt that I will (and have already
begun to) recommend this book to those who've expressed an initial awareness and
interest in SD and or NLP."

"I highly recommend Keith Rice's new book, 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', to everyone.
It is not only faithful to Spiral Dynamics, it is also everything I've been asking
for in the past five years ago. The book is an answer to all those who ask: tell
us how to incorporate Spiral Dynamics into our work and practical applications. Spiral
Dynamics provides a great meta framework. A person, however, still needs to overlay
all their own knowledge of other models and methods on Spiral Dynamics and to overlay
Spiral Dynamics on them. Keith Rice has done this remarkably well in this book!
Hopefully
we all will have a chance to read it and it will motivate more books by those of
us who have incorporated Spiral Dynamics into our personal and professional lives."

"'Knowing Me, Knowing You' is an amazing book! Thank You to Keith Rice . It has inspired
me! I'm in the midst of grasping the concept of Spiral Dynamics and this book is
helping me so much to understand all of it. It is an inspiration for humanity to
change."
