Our views are not fixed monuments. They are directional, flexible and open to learning. In this episode, Dr. Ward, invites us to pause, look deeply, and consider how we may change our way of seeing and looking at things so that we may live together in wellness, justice, and harmony.  To study and observe our views can help us understand how our beliefs and identities are interconnected. And if we are open to changing our views and recognizing their impermanence, says Dr. Ward, we can move together towards individual and societal transformation. Go deeper with these practice questions: What assumptions about your daily life have changed since the Covid pandemic?How open is your mind? Are you willing to receive what you've never thought of before?What views are you considering to let go of or have already let go of? And why?What views do you want to pass on to future generations?
