Andrew Aronowitz argues that appearing smart in conversations gets you nowhere, but genuine curiosity and empathy help both people reach clearer understanding. Trying to have all the answers costs you happiness and clarity.
Speaker:ANDREW_ARONOWITZ] earlier is, you know, do you want to be interesting? Do you want to appear to be smart and have all the answers? I mean, you can show up that way. It's not going to get you very far. It's not going to promote either of your happiness or get you any clearer about what's really happening. Or do you want to be interested? Do you want to show up as curious, considerate, caring, compassionate, and just try to figure out like, what's the next thing that has to happen here for us both to get something from this interaction that moves us both a little bit clearer and closer to what we actually want out of this, out of this exchange.
Yes. That kind of brings us back to where we started.
