Bill Plotkin's WildMind is an important read, especially for PositivEnergy Psychologists who will enjoy comparing his eight-fold path with the Spiral Dynamics of Beck and Cowan, and possibly a  polysexual-sensual WiseElder MotherTree.

I wouldn't call Bill Plotkin's WildMind unmitigated Wild RightBrained, nor would I call his WinWin therapeutic thinking with PositivEnergy feelings entirely LeftBrain domesticated, diminished Commodified, capitalized, colonized and conquered, deduced and reduced down to a slow-grown dark pearl of Negative YinEnergy seduced by Yang Supremacy yet still resiliently whispering Sweet-felt nothings to speak of dipolar Wild Risks are also Therapeutic Opportunities, either way, PositivEnergy with double-binding not secular yet-- not still sacred We must HereNow bilaterally speak of Ed De Bono's bilateral mind as Plotkin's WinWin horizontal EgoEco fractal of four winning prime colors, or subpersonalities, or Seasons of AnthroGeneric Development Shaping co-arising Anima EcoLove, birthing spiral colored WinWin and WinLose and LoseLose ecopolitical democracies avoiding apartheid violent aristocracies. Although I'm not so sure about Plotkin's sequence of West through North through East emerging SouthLight Yellow at this bimillennial TippingPoint moment. But turquoise and ultra-violet by Night and purple with delineating yellow by Day sounds about Ego-Eco politically spectral correct to RightBrain dominant Rainbow fascinated singing and dancing EarthSouls. But Beige at the beginning of co-arising bilateral Time ourselves? That's a Cowan and Beck Spiral Dynamics error. This Beige must not and could not be, but grey-scale instead before LeftBrain language developed stereophonic color categories and scent regimes for YangLight with Yin DNA-RNA fractal dualdark Strings full-orchestra restoring therapeutic democracy of bilateral HereNow time co-arising nondually dipolar PositivEnergy equal in resilient-conscious empowerment with dualdark NegativEnergy. Like Trump and NewAge Lenin NegativEnergy shitting on North Korea stressed-out short-person syndrome NewAnthropogentric Age Napoleon his tree, KISS I N G, primal lavish geopolitical royalty, West double-binding East in nihilistic corrupting competivity. If I could turn back WildMind Time I would fly us back to PA and Michigan and Wisconsin too, to get just a few more wise women to ignore complacency polls ignoring Russian trolls, To stand up against sexism and AmericaFirst Totalitarianism, and Climate Pathology Denialism, and pathological absence of restorative health care. To stop raking their liberated democratic leaves for a half hour. Go vote for anyone but CombOver Bully with the grabby hands of MeFirst Supremacism and ThirdGeneration bad attitude of a nouveau riche pretention not so wild woolly WhitePatriarch bully, Hopelessly confused especially about how to make a WinWin resilient profit, or prophet, much less prophetess with Sacred Matriotic Earth. Healthy WildRight dipolar minds and Domesticated LeftDominant brains all agree, healthy wealth lies in turning Yang down at least a YinSquared cooling degree. Away from monoculturing Red and toward BlueGreen cooperativity.
