3 Ideas For Better Habits
The Misconception of Certainty
Political scientist, Brian Klaas, on the dangers of false confidence.
"Rather than rewarding intellectual humility, we too often mistakenly conflate (false) certainty with confidence and power. Too many people rise to the top following the strategy of always certain, but often wrong."

Transforming Conflict into Connection
Relationship expert, Julie Schwartz Gottman, on constructive disagreements.
"Conflict is connection. It’s how we figure out who we are, what we want, who our partners are and who they are becoming, and what they want.
It’s how we bridge our differences and find our similarities, our points of connection. The problem is, we haven’t been taught how to do it right."

Embracing the Spectrum of Thought
Mindfulness advocate, Dan Koe, on the power of ambiguity.
"What’s worse is how they can condition a population to think in black and white, when the magic happens in the gray, the unknown."
