Psychologist and author Wendell Johnson was a proponent of General Semantics (or GS).
His book Living With Change, a collection of various pieces he wrote over many years, is a good introduction to GS.
Three Questions
Johnson counselled others to solve problems by utilizing these three questions:
- What do you mean? (Designed to clarify the situation)
- How do you know? (Designed to ascertain the truth via evidence)
- What then? (or: So What?) (Designed to explore implications, consequences, or alternatives)
