chapter6

1. Why “we are wrong about everything”?

Because everybody else all have differing needs and personal histories and life circumstances, we will all inevitably come to differing “correct” answers about what our lives mean and how they should be lived

2. What caused “false memory syndrome”?

Repressed memory therapy then acted as a means to pull these unconscious desires out and put them into a seemingly tangible form of a memory

3. Tell us a story where you had adamantly thought you were right, but later you found you were wrong.

After a high school political exam, my political representative and I were arguing about a question. He thought he was right but I thought I was right. We all tried to convince each other. It turns out that we are all wrong answers.

4. How to be a little less certain of yourself? Please include a personal example.

When I do a math problem, I always make sure that my results are correct, but you always make mistakes in simple calculations. Later, you pay attention to one or two more calculations.

Instead of striving for certainty, we should be in constant search of doubt.

我们很少愿意去怀疑自己，大部分人都愿意相信自己是对的，就像我们总是相信权威，专家是对的，也许他们比我们掌握的真理是要多，但没有东西是完美的。我们应该有自己的思想，独立思考，权威专家也是可以怀疑，而不是一味的相信。

We should seek to chip away at the ways that we’re wrong today so that we can be a little less wrong tomorrow

一般来说，觉得是错误的方法的话我们就会不愿意去尝试。先以错误的方式解决这个问题，不试一次我们也不会知道是什么结果，而且在下一次做的时候我们就会有意识的避开错误的方法。

In many cases, the simple act of asking ourselves such questions generates the humility and compassion needed to resolve a lot of our issues.
