An interesting book about changing opinion
5 stars
The book puts in contrast "soldier mindset" and "scout mindset" as ways to both defend your ideas or check if your ideas are actually correct. It is a nice text on being aware on why often lie to ourselves in order to avoid uncomfortable changes in world view.
