ADVICE

Always Ask When Unsure

  • When in doubt, ask directly to know what's on someone else's mind.
  • Asking prevents costly assumptions and surprises in decisions and relationships.
INSIGHT

Mindreading Is An Illusion

  • We overestimate our ability to know what others think and therefore underuse asking.
  • The only reliable way to know someone's mind is to ask them directly.
ADVICE

Center Conversations On Curiosity

  • Start conversations by choosing curiosity: ask "What can I learn from this person?".
  • Genuine curiosity signals care and invites people to share more openly.
