Poetry is the linguistic gym for double perception. A line like Emily Dickinson’s "Success is counted sweetest / By those who ne'er succeed" forces you to hold victory and failure in the same breath. Read one poem a day.
"Never assume your perception is the only perception. Your experience is data, not verdict." Double Perception
