Great question! Here are a few things that have helped me gain new perspective over the years:
  • Do a Vipassana retreat - 10 days sitting in silence will force you to question a lot of beliefs https://www.dhamma.org/en/index
  • Travel somewhere new and ditch the phone. Navigating and being forced to interact with strangers will give you all kinds of new perspective
  • Learn a new language - this one is a major commitment, but helped me reflect on how universal concepts get distilled in human communication and gave me a tool to interact with new groups of people with very different life experiences. I used Baselang several years ago for Spanish https://baselang.com
  • Travel somewhere where people live radically different lives. Chiapas and parts of Oaxaca were big ones for me
  • On the idea side, some of my favorites: Buckminster Fuller, Terence McKenna, Robert Anton Wilson, and Kevin Kelly. I've also really resonated with Vedic wisdom. Here's a great resource to find similar thinking, which I think you'll enjoy: https://organism.earth/library/
This is an excellent reminder to once again question my own experience/information inputs - thanks!
