Transformation, when it comes to our thinking, requires the willingness to consider that there might be another path to happiness, to peace—other than through more thinking. There might be a way we can’t yet see and won’t see, as long as we’re relying on thinking to find it. Ultimately, we must be willing to consider the possibility that thinking is not the solution to life and might, in fact, be the problem itself.

Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Dorrance Kelly
