Shifting Paradigms - An Inside-Out Approach

"We see the world, not as it is, but as we are."

Our viewpoint, our perceptions, our mental maps, our paradigms, our context drive our behavior and interactions with the world even as they cloud our vision of reality.

This is a big part of the discussion in the first chapter, "Inside-Out", of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" and one of the core concepts of the book.

How do we act/react when the world around us changes?

Or when a new situation we've never encountered before appears?

What about when we are interacting with someone of a different opinion?

Let's discuss.

It is not necessary to have read this chapter to be part of the discussion, but it is helpful.
