key is making it a routine to questions our assumptions and interpretations, which is more difficult than it seems.

You can take out a sheet a paper and write down 100+ things your believe and assume are true-then ask the following:

  • How did I come to assume this was the case?
  • How could I be wrong about my assumption?
