The heuristic that's most improved my life:

divorcing ideas from their owners.

If your values and beliefs must perfectly align with someone in order to consider their idea/theory/advice, you’ll miss all opportunities in life.

You have to assess them on their own merit.

Learning Is Surprising.

Learning Is Also Dying.

..

Every time you learn something.

It comes in the form of a surprise.

If it's not surprising it contains no information.

..

If it surprises you it violates one of your presuppositions.

Which means your presupposition has to die.

..

Every time you are surprised by something.

A little part of you has to die.

The trick is to not die too much. Let your ideas evolve instead.
