Much has been written about the escalating intolerance of
worldviews other than one's own. Reasoned arguments based on facts
and data seem to have little impact in our increasingly post-truth
culture dominated by social media, fake news, tribalism, and
identity politics. Recent advances in the study of human cognition,
however, offer insights on how to counter these troubling social
trends. In this book, psychologist Jon F. Wergin calls upon recent
research in learning theory, social psychology, politics, and the
arts to show how a deep learning mindset can be developed in both
oneself and others. Deep learning is an acceptance that our
understanding of the world around us is only temporary and is
subject to constant scrutiny. Someone who is committed to learning
deeply does not simply react to experiences, but engages fully with
that experience, knowing that the inevitable disquietude is what
leads to efficacy in the world.
