Embrace the joy of being wrong to increase your knowledge and confidence

Make a list of five topics you have strong opinions about

Identify the opinions that have become part of your identity
Do you feel personally attacked if someone questions them?

Detach these opinions from your identity and instead hold them lightly
It is this attachment to our identity that keeps us from recognizing when our opinions are off the mark. Instead of rethinking them, we get defensive.

When you find out you’ve made a mistake, identify what new thing(s) you have learned
If being wrong leads us to the right answer, the experience can become joyful.

Don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself
Maintain the humility to recognize that we are flawed and fallible. Laughing at yourself helps you focus less on proving yourself—and more on improving yourself.
