Ep 7 - Don’t let other’s opinions shape your life

What this episode is about

Everyone has opinions, that’s quite normal. But not every opinion is worth listening to. How can we know what to pay attention to, and what not? In this episode, Rob discusses why people have various opinions, how to be more robust with our own opinions as well as those we hear from others, and cultivating greater discernment in your life as a personal growth strategy.

Key points

  1. Exposing yourself to new knowledge is part of personal growth.

  2. Good opinions may be worth listening to, but not necessarily.

  3. There are reasons why someone’s opinion can be genuine, but just plain wrong.

  4. I suggest three steps for navigating all the stuff out there (decide, filter, engage robustly).
