Overcoming immunity requires a deep dive into our beliefs from "summary" of Immunity to Change by Robert Kegan,Lisa Laskow Lahey

In order to truly tackle our immunity to change, we must be willing to delve deeply into our beliefs. This process requires us to not only identify our surface-level assumptions and attitudes but to also uncover the underlying beliefs that drive these behaviors. It is only by excavating these deeply ingrained beliefs that we can begin to understand the root causes of our resistance to change. By engaging in this introspective journey, we can begin to unravel the complex web of reasons why we cling to our current ways of thinking and behaving. We may discover that our resistance is rooted in fears, insecurities, or past experiences that have shaped our beliefs over time. These hidden beliefs often operate beneath our conscious awareness, exerting a powerful influence on our actions and decisions. As we unearth these hidden beliefs, we are confronted with the discomfort of challenging long-held assumptions about ourselves and the world around us. This process can be both liberating and unsettling, as it requires us to confront our own limitations and biases. However, it is only by confronting these beliefs head-on that we can begin to dismantle the barriers that prevent us from embracing change. Through this process of introspection and self-examination, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the forces that drive our resistance to change. Armed with this newfound awareness, we can begin to challenge our beliefs and experiment with new ways of thinking and behaving. This journey is not easy, but it is essential if we are to overcome our immunity to change and unlock our full potential.
