In this episode, we dive deep into the intricate and often uncomfortable process of challenging our beliefs. Join me as I explore the psychological and social mechanisms that make it so difficult to question the ideas we hold dear. We’ll delve into new research on screen time, touch on the ever-controversial topic of politics, and discuss the dangers of clinging to outdated beliefs. We’ll highlight how this willingness can foster personal growth and enhance overall well-being by examining the benefits of being open to new information. Too often, we are tempted to “cancel” those who challenge our views, stalling our growth and happiness. Let’s embark on a journey of intellectual humility and discover the profound transformation from reassessing and understanding our beliefs. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that encourages critical thinking and self-reflection.
