There are things we say that might look harmless, but they are not. The incorrect use of absolutes is one of them. Words like never, always, or none tend to trigger an automatic defensive attitude, undoubtedly not beneficial, and in many cases, destructive. In this episode, we talk about the use of absolutes at work and at home.
