    Regarding the visual/auditory/kinesthetic article you mentioned, I’d highly recommend a book by Dawna Markova called “The Open Mind.” It approaches the issue from the viewpoint that we all process information in all three methods (which seems obvious) but that each method of input speaks to people differently. My description is poor but I’ve found the book to be immensely practical, both professionally and personally, especially in relating to people who think differently than I do.
