I had no idea that my research would turn into an extended essay in the form of a short e-book \u003cem\u003e\"Why Don't They Get It? Overcoming Bias in Others - and Yourself\"\u003c\/em\u003e.

Let its composition and colors still you and then move you, and then start writing. You might write a prayer or a poem. You might tell a story. You might jot down some spontaneous reactions, or even a list of questions for further consideration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of my mentors says, \"Learning is not the consequence of teaching.\" (Or, I might add, writing and reading or listening to a podcast.) \"Learning is the consequence of thinking,\" he says.
