Synopsis

Wanted: Someone who is willing and able to get us to challenge our assumptions. We are far too interested in things we already agree with.Do you know anyone who doesn't run away from reading or listening to things that are contrary to what they like to believe? who does not become defensive, avoidant or hostile?What are you curious about? Curiosity is delightful. What intrigues you? What fascinates you? What do you stand in awe of? Feed that! You will learn, grow and progress as you open yourself to ideas that are different from yours. In order to act more effectively see more clearly, think more broadly, feel more deeply, listen more care-fully. Be useful and interesting.The observations in here are imperfect. Argue with them anything to examine our assumptions. Question. When everyone agrees, head the other way. Some ideas are so stupid that only an intellectual could believe them. (George Orwell)So open your eyes. Open your mind. Open your heart. Open the door to a bigger, better, brighter, bolder way of doing things. Wrestle with me through an array of diverse thought experiments designed to poke us toward a fresh start. If we want to be outstanding, we must stand out. If we want to make a difference, we must be different.
