The three main takeaways you should learn – 1. You should be able to identify Classical and Romantic Play in other people, and their natural motivations. It has immense predictive power. 2. You should be able to identify what situations you are playing Romantically, and what situations you are playing Classically. You should always know which is which. 3. If you’re playing Romantically, you absolutely must learn when to stop and shift gears to Classical. Contrast George Washington, Otto von Bismarck, Mustafa Kemal, Deng Xiaoping, and Tokugawa Ieyasu with Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, Alexander of Macedon, etc. Choosing “Romantic Play indefinitely” has, historically, a very predictable outcome. Please study this thoroughly. This concept is incredibly useful, and potentially life-changing.
