Listen "Why do we think we know best?"
Episode Synopsis
In this conversation, we explore the theme of why we often believe our way of thinking is superior to others'. We discuss everyday examples of perceived efficiency, the comfort of familiarity, and the challenges of accepting different perspectives.We are always changing, evolving our beliefs, thoughts and the way in which we do things and engage with the world and other people. And can we allow that we therefore might change our minds completely on something, and can that be okay.This conversation emphasises the importance of flexibility in our beliefs and the value of learning from others, especially younger generations. We also touch on the role of science in shaping our opinions and the necessity of being open to new information.Takeaways:We often believe our way is the best way.Everyday examples highlight our perceptions of efficiency.Understanding different perspectives can enhance relationships.Familiarity provides comfort but can hinder growth.Change can be uncomfortable but is necessary for learning.Flexibility in beliefs allows for personal growth.Younger generations can teach us valuable lessons.Science evolves, and so should our beliefs.Being open and curious fosters better communication.Navigating relationships requires understanding and acceptance.Adrienne and Lucy can be contacted through their websites:www.presenceofmind.life (Lucy)www.adriennekirk.uk (Adrienne) Hosted on Acast.
