As I stated earlier, signing you initials can mean many things. I think its possible that it can just be another way for you to interact with the author himself. When you sign the paper it means that you are saying that you take responsibility. Not anyone else. Another thing this could be doing is initiating power. This can remind some readers that they have the power to make decisions. That their problems come from their decisions and that they can remove or create new ones if desired.

For me, it just made me feel like I took more responsibility for my own actions. Signing my initials would help me reflect on what the chapter was about. Also, since I have to sign my initials on so many medical papers anyway its almost like my brain automatically categorizes it as something important. I think he did this as a way to make the reader feel like this book or the information within it is important.

However I fully understand the principle behind signing your initials. It makes a person take accountability. Usually before you sign your name, or in this case initials, you make sure that you clearly understand all of the subject matter. I feel as that’s it’s a condescending gesture.

I think that the results will vary. It will not accomplish anything for some people. If someone believes that their signature has the power of a valuable promise, then it would probably hold significant sway.
I use these kinds of tricks on myself. They do work for me, so I can confidently say that there is value in it for some people.

You have put this across in a way I would have not seen it. I haven't read the book but I think I would have ignored the whole idea.cpru68 wrote: ↑03 Nov 2018, 13:37 I think there is the actual signing of it where the eye and the hand coordinate to get it on paper that can be significant, but also there is a vow that is being made that impacts the spirit and the mental part of us that solidifies our commitment to what we have read and that we will implement it. It’s a contract between ourselves and ourselves and for me, that has great meaning to motivate me.
