Intellectual humility? Admitting we're wrong is real strength!

In this episode of Round Table, Heyang, Steve, and Yushan delve into the concept of intellectual humility, defining it as recognizing the limits of one's knowledge and being open to others' perspectives. They explore how cultural norms, particularly in China, can create a conflict between valuing humility and the fear of admitting mistakes. The discussion covers the challenges of overcoming ego and confirmation bias, especially in the age of social media algorithms that reinforce existing beliefs. The hosts emphasize the importance of listening, self-questioning, and distinguishing between constructive feedback and unhelpful criticism. The segment "Motivational Monday" encourages listeners to incorporate calming morning routines like meditation to improve their mood and energy levels throughout the week.
