I
was a subscriber to Berkeley Repertory Theatre and happened to run into
its director. Michael Leibert. I asked if he wouldn’t mind a bit of
feedback. He said, “Yes, I would mind.”
I
was shocked. I thought, "He doesn’t have to accept it but he could at
least listen to see if it was worthy. After all, open-mindedness avoids
our becoming stale, it facilitates our growing, and even makes us better
liked because we’ve reacted well to people’s ideas.
But I’ve come to realize that closedmindedness has benefits. I describe them in my PsychologyToday.com article today.
