Perception and Perspective

Your perception of reality is not reality itself. The lens through which you view the world-your unique perspective-shapes everything you experience. But how do perception and perspective interact? And how can understanding their subtle differences empower you to live a more examined and meaningful life?In this book, we'll explore the cognitive processes forming the human experience's foundation. Through compelling case studies and exercises, we'll illustrate how our perceptions are sculpted beginning in childhood by innate biases and environmental influences outside our control, and how perspective, the position from which we observe, retains potential for growth if we cultivate mindfulness and open-mindedness.Learning to distinguish perception from perspective is the first step to recognizing unconscious patterns and enlarging our sphere of thought. This journey of self-discovery is challenging but rewarding. Within these pages, you will find a map to reclaiming ownership over your internal and external worlds. The choice to see more clearly has never been more urgent or liberating.
