EP 3: Unlearning in the time of continuous learning

Should we fail to raise ourselves up to the occasion, it will be a collective failure of our human species to evolve. Sounds audacious? In this episode of Gromance, Pavi discusses the paradigm shifts in technology, leadership and socio-economic conditions in the 21st century and the importance of learning to unlearn. Unlearning is an art of letting go of old knowledge, skills, information or habits in order to make a room for new ideas and learning which might be better for success in life. We have to recognize and accept that the old techniques, knowledge and perception on which we have been relying on are no longer effective or relevant. This is most challenging because most of us are sublimely unaware of our mindset and perceptions. We just employ them and those remains on auto pilot mode. In addition to this, it can be difficult to accept that your existing model is getting out-dated. Many of you have built your reputations and careers on the mastery of these old models. Letting go may seems to you like starting over all again and losing the authority, status, or even your sense of self. Since the world is changing at the speed of thoughts, developing qualities like adaptability, feeling comfortable and accepting new challenges and changes around you, practicing  mindfulness and staying curious will help you achieve success.   Are you on a similar journey, navigating spirituality, mental health, and your career?
