Here are my notes on reading Adam Grant’s sixth chapter in Think Again.
- Great story about Daryl Davis speaking with over 200 KKK members to get them to reconsider their stereotypes.
- Great story on the rivalry between Yankees and Boston Red Sox fans.
- Diminishing prejudice by destabilizing stereotypes
- Try the get the other person to see a commonality
- Reflect on arbitrary animosity towards the other group.
- Counter factual questions that invite people to explore there origins of their own beliefs and reconsider their stances towards other groups.
- We have cultural truisms widely shared but rarely questioned.
