Page 251 if you are interested in working on your rethinking skills here are my top 30 takeaways think like a scientist define your identity in terms of values not opinions seek out information that goes against your views, beware of getting stranded in the summit of mount stupid. Heart is the benefit of the doubt. Embrace the joy of being wrong. Learn something new from each person you meet. Build a challenge Netwerk not just a support net work. Don’t shy away from constructive conflict. Practice the art of persuasive listening. Question how rather than why. Ask what evidence would change your mind. Ask how people originally formed in a Pinyan. Acknowledge common ground. Remember that less is often more. We enforce freedom of choice. Have a conversation about the conversation. Complex defy contentious topics. Don’t shy away from caveats and contingencies. Expand your emotional range. Have a weekly myth busting discussion at dinner. Invite kids to do multiple drafts and seek feedback from others. Stop asking kids what they want to be when they grow up. Abandon best practices. Established psychological safety. Keep a rethinking scoreboard. Throw out the 10 year plan. We think your actions not just your surroundings. Schedule a life check up. Make time to think again.

In the book

And give it time: the difference between demanding an immediate resolution and allowing an issue room to breathe is often the difference between the final nail in a relationship's coffin and a door left open for something better later. The whole disposition to cultivate is what one writer calls a challenge network rather than only a support network — surround yourself with people who will tell you that you are wrong, get into the habit of asking what evidence would change my mind, and learn to feel the strange joy of discovering you were wrong. So here is how to fly the radio between cockpits, and the turbulence between them. — Communication & Conflict (Communication/Conflict)
