每日原则:奉行头脑极度开放

文摘   2024-08-19 11:01   美国  

如果你知道自己有盲点,你就能找到一种办法去解决,但假如你不知道,你将持续不断地栽在相同的问题上。换言之,如果你能承认自己有盲点,并以开放的心态接受其他人可能在某件事上比你看得更准,以及他们试图指出的威胁或机会确实存在,那么你就更有可能做出良好的决策。


头脑极度开放的基础是一种真诚的担忧:你可能并未以最佳方式对你的选择进行判断。头脑极度开放是一种能力:能有效地探析各种不同的观点和不同的可能性,而不是让你的自我意识或思维盲点阻碍你。这需要你克服认为自己始终正确的执念,取而代之的是探求真相的愉悦。奉行头脑极度开放,会让你脱离“较低层次的你”的控制,并确保“较高层次的你”能发现和考量所有好的选择,做出最佳决策。如果你能获得这种能力(只要练习你就能),你将可以更有效地应对各种现实情况,大大改善自己的生活。 

大多数人不明白什么是“头脑极度开放”,他们只是把头脑开放理解为“承认自己可能是错的”,但依然顽固地坚持自己的观点,不寻求理解其他观点背后的理由。


If you know that you are blind, you can figure out a way to see, whereas if you don’t know that you’re blind, you will continue to bump into your problems. In other words, if you can recognize that you have blind spots and open-mindedly consider the possibility that others might see something better than you—and that the threats and opportunities they are trying to point out really exist—you are more likely to make good decisions.

Radical open-mindedness is motivated by the genuine worry that you might not be seeing your choices optimally. It is the ability to effectively explore different points of view and different possibilities without letting your ego or your blind spots get in your way. It requires you to replace your attachment to always being right with the joy of learning what’s true. Radical open-mindedness allows you to escape from the control of your lower-level you and ensures your upper-level you sees and considers all the good choices and makes the best possible decisions. If you can acquire this ability—and with practice you can—you’ll be able to deal with your realities more effectively and radically improve your life.

Most people don’t understand what it means to be radically open-minded. They describe open-mindedness as being “open to being wrong,” but stubbornly cling to whatever opinion is in their head and fail to seek an understanding of the reasoning behind alternative points of view.
