1:18Now PlayingSome of the hardest diversity to practice is diversity of thought.
Research suggests that people who strongly value diversity are often more likely to have friends of different races, religions, and sexual orientations. But when it comes to politics and social values, their friendships can actually be more homogeneous.
That is an important contradiction.
It is relatively easy to celebrate differences you can see. It is much harder to stay close to people who see the world differently than you do.
But that harder form of diversity can also be one of the most valuable. Being around people who challenge your assumptions can make you think more carefully, listen more closely, and understand the world with greater humility.
