Resist confirmation bias from "summary" of Think Again by Adam Grant

To resist confirmation bias, we must be willing to question our assumptions and seek out information that challenges our beliefs. This means actively seeking out diverse perspectives and evidence that may contradict what we think we know. It requires a willingness to engage in thoughtful debate and consider alternative viewpoints, even if they make us uncomfortable or challenge our existing beliefs. One way to resist confirmation bias is by practicing intellectual humility, which involves acknowledging the limits of our own knowledge and being open to the possibility that we may be wrong. This can help us approach new information with an open mind and consider alternative explanations or interpretations. Another strategy is to actively seek out feedback and criticism from others, especially from those who may have different perspectives or expertise. By exposing ourselves to a range of opinions and viewpoints, we can gain a more nuanced understanding of complex issues and avoid falling into the trap of only seeking out information that confirms what we already believe. It's also important to be aware of the role that emotions can play in shaping our beliefs and influencing our decision-making. Emotions can cloud our judgment and lead us to seek out information that confirms our preexisting biases, rather than objectively evaluating the evidence.
  1. We can become more flexible in our thinking and better equipped to navigate the complexities of the world around us. It requires a willingness to challenge our assumptions, be open to new information, and engage in critical thinking. Ultimately, resisting confirmation bias can help us make more informed decisions and cultivate a deeper understanding of the world.
