“It requires an incredible amount of humility to be willing to be wrong nearly all the time. But we have to be willing to be wrong, and proven wrong, in order to increase knowledge overall.”

5.0

All the stars!! This book had so many quotes that I loved but I’ll add my favorite one here: “…those who hurt the most are the best at protecting others from the dark, because they know what the dark looks like.” The bad guy is BAD, bad. And his chapters raised my blood pressure a little. But I absolutely loved this book.
