  • Hey there.

  • We're dipping into the archives this week to revisit an episode from our Think Again series from last summer.

  • The series was all about how to rewire your brain in interesting and surprising ways.

  • And this particular conversation with Malcolm Gladwell is all about cultivating a nimble mind.

  • This was the kickoff episode for our Think Again series.

  • You can find the rest of the Think Again episodes on Apple Podcasts.

  • Okay, here we go.

  • This is in conversation from Apple News.

  • I'm Shemitah Basu.

  • Today, how to challenge your beliefs and change the way you think.

  • Malcolm Gladwell would like you to try this little thought experiment.

  • Picture yourself 10, 20, 20 years ago and really ask yourself, would you wear.

  • The things you were wearing back then?

  • Would you wear your hair the way you wore it in that picture?

  • Would you think about who your best friends were?

  • Are they the same now?

  • The answer for me, and probably a lot of you, is absolutely not.

  • And what you'll discover, of course, is that huge amounts of your life have changed, of the way you present yourself to the world, the way you think, the circumstances of your life.

  • They've all changed.

  • So if we're okay with changing our sense of style, our friends, our interests, shouldn't we be better at changing our minds about other things, too?
