The Johari Window
Connections in the mind are difficult to fathom. As I read the fourth in a series of novels by Linda A. Cooney the passage,
"You don't have to tell them about Christopher," Winnie advised. "I've always been a big believer in not telling parents everything."
p.14, _Freshman Nights_, Linda A. Cooney, Harper Paperbacks, 1990. led me to think about the Johari Window.
Roger Martin du Gard, a French author, used to like to visualize an idea from multiple viewpoints. A search on a topic like Johari Window reveals differing concepts - the one you expected (the diagram that I recalled) and ones that you did not. The results of different search engines can be surprising and offer thoughts that one did not anticipate. I had followed this approach in considering the logistic equation and its generalization.
In my reading a sentence in the _Freshman ..._ series it was my thought that the authors were looking at the lives of three girls becoming women who reveal parts of themselves in each chapter and/or volume. The series is thought of in a different way by Joyce A. Litton. My interest in the series started as a desire for light reading and I bought three of the series at a clearance sale. The revealing development of the plot led me to return and purchase twenty more of the series and to order the missing volumes from the series from the book seller.
