I currently receive a weekly email from James Clear. He wrote a best selling book called Atomic Habits. (www.jamesclear.com). The weekly letter is called 3-2-1 and includes 3 Ideas, 2 Quotes and 1 Question. They are often very thoughtful and thought provoking emails. You can sign up for them on his website.
In addition to books and emails, he writes articles. One particular article, which I have read before but seems extremely relevant now was called:
In the world of fake news and false narratives, it has been very interesting to see the impact COVID has had in not only highlighting and exposing people’s behaviour and beliefs, it has also intensified the lack of trust people have in government. Navigating through the ocean of information available to us can be challenging enough. Adding algorithms that give us information the search engine believes we want, can be self affirming. This article highlights what it is that drives peoples to rest on the information they chose, regardless of it’s accuracy. There is so much information on the threat of Covid and the value of wearing masks and right now (in my opinion) people have truly dug into their positions.
I will not steal any more of James’ thunder and hope you enjoy the article. People are fascinating and COVID has truly raised the bar….or moved the bar……depending on your perspective.
