In his latest book, Me, Myself, and Us, Professor Brian Little says that we no longer think in terms of nature vs nurture as two sides of a debate. Rather consensus is emerging to say that the key thing to think about is how we nurture our natures.

We all build a picture of the world using a set of personal constructs. They are a fact of life, an inevitability of human consciousness. How much control do we have over them?

As Professor Little points out, we can't escape constructs. They are a fact of life, an inevitability of human consciousness. Without them we would be completely overloaded and overwhelmed by information. But we do have a choice as to how we interact with them and how open we are to empathically developing them.
