Ep. 2 — You Could Be Wrong: A Mindset That Changes Everything


Listen Later

What if some of your most confident beliefs — about yourself, your child, your faith, or your future — were wrong?

In this episode of Roots and Wings, Siva Bala Narayanan explores one of the most transformative mindset shifts of all:
“You could be wrong.”

Drawing from personal experience, science (Dunning-Kruger effect, cognitive biases), metaphor (Flatland), and ancient Indian wisdom (Rig Veda, Bhagavad Gita, Thirukkural), this episode invites you to rethink what you think you know.

You’ll learn:

  • Why ego and social pressure make it hard to change your mind
  • How science and spirituality both value uncertainty
  • The 70–30 Rule — a practical method to stay curious and open
  • Why saying “I could be wrong” isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom

Whether you’re exploring your swadharma, trying to grow as a leader or parent, or simply reflecting on your worldview, this episode will challenge and encourage you to think again.
