现实分为不同层次，每一层都能给你不同但有价值的视角。综合分析和决策时你需要把这些层次都记住，并知道如何在不同层次之间转换。
假设你正在谷歌地图上查看你的家乡。把地图放大到能看到建筑时，你就看不到家乡周围的地区了，而后者是重要的信息。也许你的家乡在水边，但地图放得太大的话，你将无法判断它是沿河岸、湖岸还是海岸。你必须知道，为了合理决策你要考察哪个层次。
我们总是从不同层次看事物，并在各个层次之间转换，不管我们是有意识还是无意识地这么做，不管我们做得好不好，不管我们看的是物体、观念还是目标。例如你可以在两个层次之间转换，一个是你的价值观，另一个是你为实现价值观平时在做的事。大概情况如下：
次一级的概念 ：我想成为一名医生。
次一级的点：我需要上医学院。
再次一级的点：我需要在科学课程上取得好成绩。
再再次一级的点：我今晚需要在家学习。
要观察你在生活中这方面做得怎么样，可以注意你的谈话。我们在谈话时倾向于在不同层次之间转换。Reality exists at different levels and each of them gives you different but valuable perspectives. It’s important to keep all of them in mind as you synthesize and make decisions, and to know how to navigate between them.Let’s say you’re looking at your hometown on Google Maps. Zoom in close enough to see the buildings and you won’t be able to see the region surrounding your town, which can tell you important things. Maybe your town sits next to a body of water. Zoom in too close and you won’t be able to tell if the shoreline is along a river, a lake, or an ocean. You need to know which level is appropriate to your decision.We are constantly seeing things at different levels and navigating between them, whether we know it or not, whether we do it well or not, and whether our objects are physical things, ideas, or goals. For example, you can navigate levels to move from your values to what you do to realize them on a day-to-day basis. This is what that looks like in outline:Subordinate Concept: I want to be a doctor.
Sub-Point: I need to go to medical school.
Sub-Sub Point: I need to get good grades in the sciences.
Sub-Sub-Sub Point: I need to stay home tonight and study.
To observe how well you do this in your own life, pay attention to your conversations. We tend to move between levels when we talk.![]()
