Think Again: 6: Bad Blood on Diamond

Here are my notes on reading Adam Grant’s sixth chapter in Think Again.

• Great story about Daryl Davis speaking with over 200 KKK members to get them to reconsider their stereotypes.
• Great story on the rivalry between Yankees and Boston Red Sox fans.
• Diminishing prejudice by destabilizing stereotypes
• Try the get the other person to see a commonality
• Reflect on arbitrary animosity towards the other group.
• Counter factual questions that invite people to explore there origins of their own beliefs and reconsider their stances towards other groups.
• We have cultural truisms widely shared but rarely questioned.
