Julia Galef recently launched The Scout Mindset - a fantastic book that can help improve how we communicate when things contradict our expectations. Why some people see things clearly and others don't? Her book shows that what makes scouts better at getting things right isn't that they're smarter or more knowledgeable than everyone else. It's a handful of emotional skills, habits, and ways of looking at the world--which anyone can learn. In this book, Galef explores why our brains deceive us and what we can do to improve the way we think.
