… Jack Mezirow, professor emeritus at Columbia Teachers College, posits that adults learn best if presented with what he calls a “disorienting dilemma” or something that “helps you critically reflect on the assumptions you’ve acquired.”
Easier said than done. How often do we dig our heels in and defend our positions about what we think?
…we need to stop and listen to how we really feel about a situation rather than taking it at face value.
…Stop and listen occasionally to how and what you’re thinking about. Become the witness to your thoughts; you may be surprised and delighted or you may be horrified.
