Don’t get stuck on thinking blocks. Think again, think better (systemically)

Don’t get stuck on thinking blocks. Think again, think better (systemically)

How can people keep thinking something when evidence around them is screaming a different reality? How can we make sure that thinking blocks don’t happen to us?
