Think in Terms of More or Less Effective

Cognition can not be separated from emotion.

What we think precedes what we feel, and often what we think triggers our emotions.

Thinking in terms of “right” or “wrong” is especially dangerous because people become emotionally involved with these concepts.

It is more helpful to think in terms of “more effective” or “less effective.” Think where you want to go and then ask  yourself, “Is this going to get me there?”
