Thinking fast and slow when childhoods are unequal

Challenging the rational model of judgment and decision making when unequal childhoods still exist has not changed our education system.

No matter what you think you're saying, your words, gestures, and tone of voice can actually communicate something entirely different. Look for the signals when you are among friends and foes. Often, negative micromessages undermine morale, opportunities, and ultimately your health. In my opinion, micromessages can reveal a lot about our own insecurities. Learning how to constructively address these behaviors can bring about positive change. Young offers a common language for encouraging cruicial leadership skills and how to acquire them, universal cultural issues and ways to speak fairly, not falsely.  Enjoy the reading and share your comments about the ride.
