Stretching your mind is hard. Once we've settled on a worldview that suits us, we tend to hold on. New information is bent to fit, information that doesn't fit is discounted, and new views are resisted.

Certainty feels good and is a powerful force in leadership. The challenge, as Bertrand Russell puts it in The History of Western Philosophy, is "To teach how to live without certainty, and yet without being paralyzed by hesitation".

EXCELLENT.

"I have always been of the opinion that consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative." Oscar Wilde

that's an exercise that results in a beautiful mind!

stretching our mind is only difficult when when we get so "busy" that we stop taking the time to actually think
