Open-mindedness is linked to better psychological health, increased happiness, and enhanced problem-solving abilities. But it can be tough to be open-minded sometimes in today's world.

My guest is A. J. Jacobs, a journalist, lecturer, and New York Times Best-Selling author. His newest book, A Year of Living Constitutionally, explores how being open-minded used to be seen as a strength, not a weakness.

Some of the things he talks about are:

  • The profound benefits of gratitude
  • How humility and flexibility in thinking are key components in individual and societal growth
  • Why spending less time consuming sensational news can lead to better mental health and more productive problem-solving
  • How being flexible in your opinions based on new evidence is a strength rather than a weakness
  • How trying new things and framing life as a series of puzzles can lead to personal growth and creativity
  • How to view disagreements as puzzles so you can have more productive conversations
