The Limits of Either/Or Thinking
- Either/or thinking restricts solutions and mindsets.
- Overemphasizing one side of a paradox while neglecting the other is limited at best and detrimental at worst.
- Navigating paradox requires adopting mindsets that enable holding two opposing forces simultaneously. This challenges rational assumptions.
Truth is not black and white. "Yes, and" thinking honors others' realities without necessarily agreeing. Multiple truths can coexist.
