Chapter 5: Learn, Unlearn & Relearn - The thinking that got you here won’t get you there

Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell

We all like to think that our way of viewing the world - and the people, problems and possibilities in it - is the right way. In fact, we all have what’s called a ‘confirmation bias’ that drives us to look for evidence to support our existing beliefs and behaviours and ignore or discount those which contradict them. Yet only when you are willing to say "I don’t know" or "I could be wrong" and to actively seek out alternative perspectives that challenge your own best thinking can you unlearn what you think you know and relearn what you need to know. So if you keep finding yourself struggling with the same problems or you feel like you’re not achieving the results you want, maybe it’s because you’re operating on an outdated or incorrect mental map. In which case, this episode which draws on Chapter 5 of Stop Playing Safe is for you!
