Have you heard of the "Both/And" approach to thinking, making decisions, and solving problems? Until recently, I hadn't and learning about this way of thinking has help me level-up my mindset and perform better in life and in business. You see, in Western cultures, we are socialized into rational, dualistic thinking patterns, which is about comparison and differentiation. Essentially, it's "either-or" thinking. While either-or thinking has led to incalculable advances in science, technology, and medicine, dualistic thinking isn't the only way to interpret the world and doing so can allows us to be myopic in our approach to life and decision-making. By contrast, ancient traditions, such as Buddhism or Taoism, emphasizes the non-dual mind thereby transcending either-or thinking or a fixed mindset. Take a listen and give Both/And thinking a try. You'll be glad you did. Thank you for joining the conversation!
