It’s not easy to convince someone to change their mind. They first have to be willing. You can hand someone a new tool and explain how much better it is, but they might toss it aside anyway.

If it’s someone who respects you, you have a decent chance of persuading them. But even then, changing their mind likely won’t happen overnight and might never happen.

We’re all stubborn like that. But not always on purpose—we have blind spots. If you’ve become aware of even one of your blind spots, assume you have more. Thinking you’ve found them all is itself a blind spot.
