The Third Exercise: Changes in Self, Part
I
Purpose:
The purpose of this exercise is to expand your sense of self, putting the theories of Chapter 4 into practice.
Presentation:
Find circumstances under which you will make a phone call or calls during which you speak to at least three people. Make sure that your relationship to each of them is markedly different from the others. The change in your sense of self and how differently you present yourself to each person will manifest itself while you are dealing with the content of what you are saying to each other, in your tone of voice, verbal idiom, even in bodily adjustments.
Keep in mind:
• It is unimportant whether you talk to three people in the course of the same call, make three separate short calls, or are interrupted by incoming calls.
