What I’m Reading – Week of Sept. 27th
* The Spiral of Silence: “Our desire to fit in with others means we don’t always say what we think. We only express opinions that seem safe.”
* Negativity Bias: “While the negativity bias used to be a useful survival mechanism, it has a powerful—and often unconscious—impact on the way we behave, think, and build relationships.”
* A Few Rules To Live By: “The only thing worse than thinking everyone who disagrees with you is wrong is the opposite.”
* Understanding Others’ Emotions (short video): “Do you want empathy or do you want a solution?”
* Nothing is “Beyond” Self-Improvement: ” Choices about what to do are really choices about who to be. Navigating this never-ending parade of options is part and parcel of the self-improvement enterprise, and the self-improvement enterprise never meaningfully ends.”
