Have you ever try to change someone's mind and no matter what evidence you show them, they don't budge? We all have.
David Richardson studied this topic at Oxford and explains why this happens and how to change that person by first understanding their underlying assumptions.

Transparent: How to See Through the Powerful Assumptions That Control You

Assumptions are the most potent of ideas, but also the least understood. Transparent reveals what assumptions we make, how they control us, and how they are all inherently religious. Even atheists are religious at the level of their assumptions. Some assumptions are true and most are not. How can you tell without being an intellectual? Transparent introduces the Transparent App, an innovative and creative tool that helps people quickly see through the messages they encounter daily in the things they read, watch, and hear using the power of assumptions. The Transparent App is simple enough for a student to use, but powerful enough for adults to find God and engage with Him in their areas of interest, expertise, and leadership. How can someone bring God with them to work or school? How does God give us knowledge and guidance in the things that matter in real life? At the level of assumptions God is everywhere. Transparent is not just a theoretical theological exercise for intellectuals. It “translates” the complex ideologies of the intellectuals into everyday language for everyday people. Written more like an adventure than a textbook, Transparent is a refreshing departure from the usual books about apologetics, theology, and culture. Students, parents, pastors, and professionals will all love Transparent.

Dave Richardson is also the President of the Assumptions Institute, an educational organization that helps individuals and groups find God and engage with Him in their areas of interest, expertise, and leadership. We do that with resources and strategies that use the power of assumptions to discover what is true and align our public lives with that truth.
