Third, get comfortable with being unsure
Third, get comfortable with being unsure. Any of these options will leave you in a place where it's really difficult to be certain about how to live.

In the book
Seek out the people who challenge your thinking, because you learn far more from them than from the ones who only agree with you; remember Patton's line that if everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. And get comfortable being unsure, holding the question open rather than grabbing the first answer. When you need the real reason buried under a problem, ask why five times in a row until you strike bedrock; and protect the slow system from the fast one the way Kahneman did, refusing on principle to say yes to a request on the phone, because the quick answer is so rarely the wise one. — The Mind in the Cockpit
