Learning From People & Things You Don't Like

Career Bound by Praxis

Discussed on this episode:

- Thinking about confirmation bias when it slows our learning

- Why it's okay to be controversial

- The rub between finding "Your Audience" and "Learning Quickly"

- The art of charitable interpretation - way easier to learn when you're not taking stuff personally

- When is it valuable to ignore people you disagree with? When should you try to learn from them?

- The dangerous tendency to migrate toward people we agree with / ideas we already believe

- Big opportunity (And HUGE life lesson for me) that it's possible (and valuable) to learn from people you disagree with and stuff you don't like
