Willful Blindness: Why We Ignore the Obvious at Our Peril • Professor, C.E.O, and keynote speaker Margaret Heffernan helps us understand that the biggest dangers and perils we face are the ones we don't see — not because they're invisible, but because we choose not to see them. Generally, we turn a blind eye in order to feel safe, avoid conflict, reduce anxiety, and protect prestige. • • In Willful Blindness, Heffernan shows the solution to this dilemma. She argues that by challenging our biases, encouraging debate, discouraging conformity, and not backing away from complicated problems, we can cultivate mindful awareness of the things happening around us and be proactive instead of reactive. • • “The very fact that willful blindness is willed, that it is a product of a rich mix of experience, knowledge, thinking, neurons, and neuroses, is what gives us the capacity to change it.” ~ Margaret Heffernan • Chapters: • 00:00 Chapter 1 • 02:23 Chapter 2 • 05:11 Chapter 3 • 07:59 Chapter 4 • 10:39 Chapter 5 • 13:13 Chapter 6 • 15:40 Chapter 7 • 18:14 Conclusion
