Being the knower
... or always being right is heavy armor. It translate into defensiveness and posturing. This is very common and most of us have some degree of knower in us.
Needing to know everything is ...
Why we hide behind the "knower" armor
For many people the need to be a knower is caused by shame and even trauma. Being the knower can get people out of difficult situations, and it’s easy to believe that being a knower is the only value we bring to relationships and work.
Knowing can also become a culture problem when only some people are valued as knowers.
Going from knower to curious learner
- Name the issue. And discuss it in a gentle way:"I’d like for you to work on your curiosity and critical thinking skills."
- Make learning “curiosity skills” a priority. Don’t assume people aren’t curious because they don’t care. They may not know how to be curious.
- Acknowledge and reward great questions and statements like “I don’t know, but I’d like to find out”.

Finding yourself in a funk
From time to time, we may find ourselves in a funk where we experience an unusual amount of distraction and self-doubt.
Slouching, rounding shoulders, shallow breaths, ...
Boost your mood
We can change our emotional state by focusing on our physiology rather than our emotions. Using the following tricks can give you energy and an emotional boost to stay productive.
- Put on some upbeat music.
- Stand up and stretch. Try to reach the ceiling. Get on your tippy-toes.
- Take several deep breaths. Oxygenating the blood make you more alert and awake.
- Get your body moving. The more vigorous you can move, the better. Go for a run, a bicycle ride, or simply a walk outdoors. If you do it for long enough, your brain will release endorphins that elevate your mood.
- Focus on the positive. Think positive thoughts. Give thanks for what you have rather than complaining about what you don't.

Heuristics: Mental Shortcuts
In our daily lives, we do not have the time, knowledge or skills to make the perfect decision/choice every time, and it may be too exhausting and time-consuming to make really big decisions in a pe...
Cognitive Bias: The Other End Of Heuristics
When our heuristics make us do unreasonable things and ignore obvious dangers, it is termed as a cognitive bias, a systematic error that is based out of our unawareness.
These systematic thinking patterns form the mental models that make us perform automated functions, and blind our views towards reality.
The Most Common Cognitive Biases
- Representativeness Heuristic: assumes that if something reminds us of something we know already, it is part of the same group.
- Availability Heuristic: The more something comes in front of us, the more likely we think it is.
- Anchoring Heuristic: Unconsciously giving a disproportionate amount of importance to the first piece of information that is learned.
