The Importance of Water Cooler Conversations

Most impressions and thoughts arise in your conscious experience without your knowing how they got there. The mental work that produces impressions, intuitions and many decisions goes on in silence in our mind. We are often confident even when we are wrong. And an objective observer is more likely to detect our errors than we are. So this is my aim for water cooler conversations: improve the ability to identify and understand errors of judgment and choice in others, and eventually in ourselves.
