"Good listeners do often reflect words back—but not because they read it in a book somewhere. Rather, it’s cargo cult advice: it teaches you to imitate the surface appearance of good listening, but misses what’s actually important, the thing that’s generating that surface appearance. The generator is curiosity."

Interesting. What are other examples where the commonplace advice is just a symptom of the root behavior/attitude you want to cultivate?
