Episode 18. Breaking Binary: Creative Ways to Expand Your Thinking

Written By David Peck

In this episode, I discuss the dangers of binary thinking and the importance of embracing nuance and creativity in our conversations and relationships. I encourage listeners to challenge their assumptions with curiosity and explore different perspectives. By embracing the power of 'and' instead of 'or', we can find common ground and create something everyone wants. Breaking out of binary thinking allows us to unlock creativity and make life richer and more enjoyable.

  • Challenging assumptions with curiosity can lead to more empathy and understanding.
