@IAmMarkManson Systems thinking was a big one for me. The idea of pursuing goals where even “failure” results in many successes. Example: I want to start a podcast. Even if my podcast “fails” to gain a following, I improve my conversation skills and get to talk to interesting people.

You can get SO much mileage with your spouse or partner by mastering this (a subset of the general truth Visa is sharing). Just running the script “can I repeat what I think you’re saying and you tell me where I’m off?” mitigates most arguments.

a very important and powerful skill, that for a long time never even occurred to me that I had, is as follows: don’t assume that someone is saying something that they didn’t actually say. that’s it. that’s like 80% of good reading comprehension and good listening skills
